About Star Light Learning Academy
We are a family-owned, International School based childcare center in Acworth, Lawrenceville, and Kennesaw specializing in the Creative curriculum and Montessori curriculum. We focus on cultivating curiosity and compassion allowing our children to become passionate, lifelong learners.
We care for children from 6 weeks to 13 years old, providing a range of age-appropriate activities and resources to encourage their development right up until they are ready to embark on their next educational adventure.
Who We Are
Star Light Learning Academy’s journey began in 2018 when Princess Shenette Zachary envisioned a childcare center that would provide unique, high-quality care and early education to the children of Georgia. Her mission is to ensure children have every opportunity to learn, develop, and succeed from a young age.
Since then, Star Light Learning Academy has expanded to three locations: Acworth, Lawrenceville, and Kennesaw. We continue to uphold the mission and core values Princess set out when opening our first center. Our approach is innovative, creating state-of-the-art facilities with a core values-based, international curriculum that encourages children to be independent thinkers and well-rounded individuals.
We believe that our unique approach gives children a bright and positive start in life. At Star Light, we encourage exploration, discovery, emotional intelligence, compassion, and building friendships.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide all children with a safe, enriching and fun learning environment where they develop the independence and confidence to explore the world around them. We have been educating children for over 15 years and our goal has remained the same - creating a place that engages each child and ensuring their unique needs are met.
We are here to support our children and their families, and that’s why we are proud to say we are open until 8 pm! We provide 24x7 access to child care across our locations, so whenever you need us, we are there!
With three locations already illuminating young minds, we are always ready to make a difference!
Every day at Star Light Learning Academy is an opportunity to reach for the stars!
Star Light Learning Academy’s International School
Star Light Learning Academy offers a unique curriculum that aims to provide children with a multicultural and diverse learning experience. We are an international school where children learn about a different country every month, centering our curriculum around the culture, history, language, geography, and customs of that country.
This type of education not only allows children to develop a broad understanding of the world but also encourages them to appreciate and respect the differences among people from different countries and cultures.
International School Curriculum
At Star Light Learning Academy, we have implemented an international school curriculum. We provide children with an enriching and unique educational experience. By learning about a different country every month, children can develop a broad understanding of the world and appreciate the diversity of cultures and people.
Each month is dedicated to learning about a different country. The curriculum is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the country, including its history, culture, and geography. Children will learn about the country’s customs, traditions, and way of life through a variety of age-appropriate activities.
Our international school curriculum is centered around the country of focus for that month. For example, if the country of focus is France, students would learn about the French language, history, geography, culture and customs. This approach allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the country and its people and helps to develop children’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills - setting them up for future academic and personal success.
Our children also have the opportunity to visit the country of focus for that month. This allows children to experience the country firsthand and see the culture and customs they have learned about in the classroom. Visiting the country provides students with an unforgettable learning experience and helps to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the culture.
As well as visiting the country of focus, we also visit other childcare centers in that country. This allows our children to see how other childcare centers are run and learn about cultural similarities and differences. Visiting another childcare center also promotes cross-cultural understanding and helps children appreciate the diversity of education and childhood experiences around the world.
By learning about different countries and cultures, children develop an understanding of the world and the people who live in it. This understanding creates an appreciation for diversity and promotes respect and tolerance. It encourages the development of well-rounded, successful children.
