The Academy experience enhances all aspects of a child's development: personal, emotional, social, physical, moral, spiritual and cognitive. This takes place in an environment rich in comfort and warmth where our faculty and staff members nurture our students. Certified teachers following the State of CT Department of Education common core standards, guide children with a strong focus on language and early literacy, an appreciation of the arts, earth awareness and character development.

HISTORY of The Academy

 

January 1992 - The Burlington Academy of Learning began as Bright Beginnings Nursery School by Kim. Bright Beginnings was started to offer a learning environment for two year old children, structured as a part time traditional Nursery School. Bright Beginnings grew, in Kim’s home, to offer two, three and four year old Preschool and Summer Programs.

 

Fall 1997 - As a result of its growth, Bright Beginnings became The Burlington Academy of Learning and moved to its current location. The Academy added both half and full day Kindergarten Programs as well as extended day options such as Before and After School Programs, to serve the growing needs of Burlington and surrounding communities.

 

September 2012 - The Burlington Academy dedicated one classroom solely for a 2 Year Old Nursery School Program and added part and full time options for 2 year olds.

 

June 2013 - The Burlington Academy began offering Infant and Toddler Programs and designated one building as the Junior Academy for the Infant, Toddler, 2 Year Old Nursery School Programs and one building for 3 Year Old Nursery School through School Age.

 

September 2019 - The Preschool and Kindergarten Academy opened its doors to The Academy's new program, Bilingual Academy also known as Academia Bilingue. This program is taught by Señora Analía and encourages students to learn and speak Spanish while learning their PreKindergarten/Kindergarten curriculum.

 

August 2020 - The Academy began offering a School Age Day Program for students utilizing distance-learning opportunities. The School Age Day Program provides a certified teacher to assist each child with their distance learning requirements. Students will also receive all of the complimentary components of a well-rounded school day; including Art, Music, Spanish and Physical Education.

 

Today - The Burlington Academy of Learning resides in the center of Burlington and we now own the property giving us the ability to modify and renovate our classrooms and buildings as desired, we are currently enhancing our outdoor classrooms! Our programs now include Infants, Toddlers, 2 and 3 Year Old Nursery School, PreKindergarten,  Montessori Academy Junior Kindergarten / Kindergarten, Before and After School Programs, Supplemental Care (for vacation days, holidays, public school snow days), a School-Age Program for distance learners, Summer Camp and Kid's Night Out.
