About

Bucktown Academy is a nature-based program for children ages two through five. We provide a high-quality early childhood educational experience where children are prepared academically and socially for kindergarten. At Bucktown Academy, we believe that children learn through play within a structured, child-centered environment; our dedication to this approach is clearly demonstrated in our loving and organized classroom where children develop a passion for learning.

Bucktown Academy strives to create a safe and inclusive environment for all children and families. At our school we celebrate our differences, including in race, culture, ethnicity, gender expression and family structure. We believe in empowering children to embrace their identities, and our curriculum reflects this value.

We offer both half-day and full-day programming. Our Sprouts half-day program (ages 2-3) is from 9:30am-11:30am. This gives kids the opportunity to experience a half-day similar to a preschool day. If you would like a longer day we do offer before care and lunch buddies. We also offer full-day which is from 7:30am-5:30pm.

The three-day program is M/W/F and the two-day program is T/TH. I am sorry but we cannot accommodate alternative schedules.
