Our Philosophy
At Children Are Unique Academy, we believe in creating positive developmental interactions between children and their surroundings.
The early years of childhood are the most influential in a child’s life.
We believe that young children learn most effectively when they have opportunities to explore their surroundings and experience a variety of play. We offer a nurturing, dynamic and diverse environment that encourages a love of learning and connection with others.
Our Mission
Children Are Unique Academy gently encourages children to discover their individual strengths and unique talents.
Each child possesses a marvelous capacity to learn.
Not only to we provide quality care, but we also go the extra mile to help every individual child reach his or her full potential. Our teachers and caregivers lead by example, demonstrating that learning is best accomplished in spaces that are emotionally secure, physically safe, and all-around fun!
Our Vision
Children Are Unique Academy strives to be a community where caregivers and families work together to nurture happy, healthy, and bright children.
We build trust with the families we support.
We aim to create an environment where families feel confident about their child’s learning and development. By working in partnership with one another, we are able to give all children a sense of dignity, respect, and most of all, community.

A Brief History
Children Are Unique Academy was founded in 2017 by Annette Smoote and Sherri Cole, who believe that all children are unique no matter their race, ethnicity or gender. Both women had over 24 years of experience working with children, and so they used their combined skills to form and operate their own childcare center. Annette and Sherri wanted to create a place where parents knew their children would be safe and well taken care of. Today, Annette and Sherri are fully committed to running a top-quality daycare center and go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.
