Preschool is where socialization and curiosity are fostered to build self confidence and a love for learning. Children are given choices as they work in learning centers, remembering that a child's work is play and that "play is the foundation for learning." Special guests are invited to support our themes throughout the year. We welcome community helpers like our firefighters, canine police unit, search and rescue helicopter unit, veterinarian, and nutritionists, to name a few.

We focus on mastering fine and gross motor skills, understanding key concepts like “more and less,” “beside and between,” reading, writing, letters, numbers, sign language, Spanish as a foreign language, and more! A high percentage of our VPK graduates boast an elementary school reading level by Kindergarten.

Parent Reviews
VCA has been more than where my kids go to daycare. They truly are family. From the moment I first called to check for availability (2 years back) everyone has always been polite, respectful, professional, very loving and caring. I am confident that when my babies are under their care they are safe and well taken care of. But it doesn't stop there. Each classroom has a carefully crafted curriculum preparing all ages to understand a classroom’s structure. They keep the kids always occupied with very engaging, fun and educational activities that have boosted both of my babies’ cognitive and intellectual abilities.
We love Viera Children's Academy. Both of my kids have gone through their programs there since they were babies and they have had a great education and also incredible staff who truly cared for my kids like they were their own children. I cannot say enough positive feedback about Miss Whitney, Miss Bonita, the teachers and the staff who | fully trust to care for my children in an excellent learning environment. My son graduated from VCA able to read and excels in his elementary school currently. I would highly recommend this program to any parent who wants an excellent place for their child to learn and grow.
Our family has been so grateful for our experience at Viera Children’s Academy. We’ve sent all three of our babies and recommend it to everyone we know. The staff is excellent with the children and very communicative. Best school ever!
VCA doesn't have a category specific enough for the type of review they deserve. For something great for the world to know should be announced this should be broadcasted all over live television 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Viera children's academy is far more than what its name describes it to be, my children have been going to VCA for 4 years now as an independent father and at that point in time a new father so many decisions are to be made and you never know who is who or what business is what until you experience it. As blessed as I can be my first pick was Viera children's academy and to be able to pick something so beneficial to my children the first time was the biggest blessing in my life. For families that lead busy lives independent mothers and fathers that are out there that have to work every single day just so their children can be taken care of taught and guided I would tell you that this is the place, THIS Is THAT place!. I can't express to you enough what it's done for my children and I thank every single person that works there for what my children have grown to be today. I couldn't have done it without them, by the age of two they were counting up to 20, they have developed such personalities, they're happy with who they're with, they're not scared they're not defiant, people that teach them make them want to go back and that says a lot pertaining to children. If anybody reads this and is in decisions of where they should bring their children and if you're on the fence of where you need to bring your child for his or her best interest for their future I would tell you hands down don't waste your time anywhere else please bring your children here I give you my word that you would be making the most beneficial decision of your children's life. I owe every single bit of it to this foundation, and I mean that, I would have never made it, I'm very sure that the experience I had, everyone else had their own versions too. Please let your child be a part of the experience as well. We will see you out there! And the special thank you to Ms. Whitney thank you from the bottom of my heart to the moon and back for every single thing you've done to help and support our family through this journey.
Viera Children’s Academy is the best school around! I cannot stress enough how loving, kind, patient, and amazing these teachers are! We foster and all of the children in our care have gone to VCA because they are simply the best. They are an integral part of why we can foster, because they truly love the children and work though issues these poor children have, instead of just writing them off as lost causes like other schools did before we found VCA. The children learned so much while here!! I cannot say enough good things about Viera Children’s Academy!!
We’ve had great experiences with Viera Childrens academy. The teachers my two boys have had thus far are so kind, caring and good communication. My 3 year old has excelled so much since starting. They helped potty train him too! 5 stars.
