We loved our time at Cranfield Academy. The teachers and staff were wonderful and took great care of all 3 of our children! Our son had some medical and behavioral difficulties, but the teachers at Cranfield worked with us to make sure he had a wonderful experience as well.

Mrs. Libby Gant and the staff work really hard to make the environment safe and educational for the kids. She works hard to quickly address issues that may arise. As a parent, I feel informed and that means so much when your child is in someone else's hands.

We love the teachers. Ms. Rachel, Ms. Keyona and Ms. Barbara, (Mr. James, the chef too), are so beloved by our daughter. Our daughter thinks Ms. Rachel is the coolest person ever. Ms. Rachel is warm, bubbly, compassionate, kind and such an amazing teacher. She makes all the kids feel special. Ms. Keyona is fun, personable and will explore children’s interests with them. Ms. Barbara is our new teacher this year who we love so far, and our daughter is so eager to make Ms. Barbara proud. And Mr. James makes the best food per our daughter. If I try to make something at home that Mr. James makes, she always says that his version is better.

The curriculum focuses on the 6 Elements: form, shape, line, color, space, and texture. Learners engage in drawing and sculpture experiences that develop both technical capabilities and creative confidence.

Classes focus on dynamic reflexes and flexibility, helping children enhance their strength, spatial awareness, balance, and athleticism.

The curriculum takes a progressive approach, supporting a solid foundation for lifelong health and activity while ensuring that children not only grow in confidence but also love the process.
