ABOUT OUR ACADEMY

Building Foundations Learning Academy (BFLA) is a learning academy dedicated to educating Atlanta’s 21st-century learners. Opened since 2008, the center has been preparing youth to become future leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and community servants both home and abroad. The academy is designed to take young minds’ neighborhood experiences and transform them into fun, relatable lessons about worlds outside of their norm with the guidance of certified educators. Providing Quality Rated childcare, BFLA’s highly rated programs and customized curriculum caters from gifted to special needs students. While staying aligned with the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards, the academy also includes opportunities for toddlers and preschoolers to engage in extracurricular activities that explore science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

ABOUT OUR SERVICES

INFANTS

    Children as young as 6 weeks are nurtured by our caring staff. Our goal is to make them feel as comfortable as they do at home.

    Our teachers guide and encourage our infants as they develop fine and gross motor skills, bloom cognitively, emerge in self-help skills and initiate communication. 

    Our infants explore in safe play areas with lots of tummy time and the staff's watchful eyes to make sure they are safe and sound during their stay.

    We incorporate the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards to build out the infant lesson plans to ensure they are meeting all of their developmental milestones. 

TODDLERS

    Every day is an adventure in the toddler room. From group play to learning to cooperate with each other, this is a time when children hit their stride, begin to discover who they are and really thrive. Our skilled teachers help toddlers grasp basic concepts and learning lessons while using the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards in addition to our curriculum.

    This also is the time that a child's independence really starts to flourish. Our skilled staff teaches self-help skills and toilet train our older toddlers. Alongside those skills, our toddler teachers also teach our tots to care for their surroundings, serve themselves and enhance their language skills. 

    

PRESCHOOL

    Our preschool children's  experience includes exciting classroom lessons, personalized homework materials and extracurricular activities. This age group learns advanced techniques to ensure they're  kindergarten-ready. 

    Our preschool curriculum is a combination of the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards, and our curriculum. Our experienced preschool teachers pride themselves on teaching early reading skills, language and fine motor development. We conduct assessments regularly to ensure that our preschoolers are hitting all of their academic, physical and social/emotional milestones. 

    As our preschoolers become more autonomous, we encourage more detailed self-help skills. 

    






TESTIMONIALS


"Wouldn't take my munchkins anywhere else.
The love, learning, individual time and devotion will never be matched anywhere else, except maybe at home. Ms. Rhonda and the staff are wonderful.
Ms. Rhonda is a no nonsense business owner who truly found her calling.
If you ever have the pleasure to meet her 2 boys, you will know what I speak of. Her mother helps several times a week, she is just so sweet, but the kiddos know she means business in a loving way. It's easy to see the love of children has been passed down from 2 these women. What my munchkins have learned while with Ms. Rhonda is spectacular. They are excited to go to "school" every day and even more excited to share what they have learned."

- Dolores Reitz

"We have been a part of the Building Foundations family since my son was a baby and he will soon turn 8. As a 1st time mom they made me feel more than comfortable leaving my son everyday. He learned so much at BFLA in the PreK program that he was more advanced than the other kids in Kindergarten. Even now in the 2nd grade he is at the top of his class and I know a lot of that is from the foundation set at BFLA."

-Kerri Davis

"I am extremely proud of this facility because of the quality of care given to the children. It is a learning environment and gives the children, in their care ,a chance to have a wonderful beginning. Their experiences and tutelage is what educators appreciate because they are prepared for kindergarten. Good Pre-k. is absolutely vital to the success of a child's school experience."

- WilliAnn Moore

"My triple grandson's can't wait to go to school each day. Each morning as their Dad walks them out to the car they are excited about going to school.

They love their school."                       

  -Dolores Moore

"My son started there when he was a baby and continued throughout PreK. He is now in Kindergarten and is rocking it! He is so far ahead of the other kids (says his teacher). When he left PreK, he knew things beyond the typical ABCs. He knew things about other states and countries, just to name a few things. His teacher just informed us that he will be tested for the gifted program soon!"
