These state-funded programs can significantly reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket childcare costs for qualifying families. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, contact the learning center nearest you — our staff is happy to help you understand your options and walk you through the application process. Don’t let cost be the reason your child misses out.

Our Programs

Even from infancy, your child is already learning. At Youthland Academy, our curricula and programs are specifically tailored to the learning needs of different age groups, including infants, preschoolers, toddlers, and school-age children.

A Nurturing Approach

We encourage children to have fun as they learn and make discoveries on their own. For school-age children, we offer homework help and more. Our highly trained and carefully selected staff members provide a low student-to-teacher ratio so each child gets the attention they need and deserve.

Fitness and Nutrition

Along with our learning programs, we also have a nutrition and fitness program called LiveWell™ that helps your child develop healthy habits early on in life. This program includes physical activity and healthy eating, as well as reduced time with electronic devices and the opportunity for you to breastfeed your infant if you desire.
