We provide meaningful employment where everyone is acknowledged and appreciated each day. We advocate for our children and offer high-quality early childhood education to the community. We are an influential role model to many children as we welcome, love, educate, and have fun with them and their families daily. We work in partnerships with families to ensure their children are supported. We strive to be the #1 choice for early childhood education!
Childcare builds a child for a lifetime; each day, we dedicate ourselves to ensure the environment will be positive, consistent and welcoming to each child.
My name is Stephanie Mahal, and I am the acting President of the Early Childhood Academy ownership group. I have over 17 years of experience working with young children and families as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. I specialize in supporting children’s physical, cognitive, social, communication, and emotional development and growth. Most recently, I spent the past 12 years in public schools leading processes in developing, implementing, and coordinating student support services by providing screenings, evaluations, educational programming, transition planning, therapeutic interventions, and school readiness. My diverse skill set and collaborative approaches ensured my students and the staff that worked with them were provided evidence-based practices to ensure the opportunity to access, engage, grow, learn, and participate successfully in inclusive school settings and classrooms.
Collaboration and communication are critical aspects of the Academies’ success and teamwork. There is no “I” in the team. I am truly blessed to have the support and collaboration of a team of resources that will provide all levels of business knowledge, expertise, skills, and operations to run successful childcare businesses. As a parent, I know firsthand how important it is for parents to be part of a supportive community. We are excited and passionate to continue growing in more locations for these close-knit communities and the enriching academic and care programs it provides.
It is my distinct honor to have the opportunity to serve you and your child. Know that everyone at Early Childhood Academy has one mission: to provide a loving, healthy, safe, and rewarding learning environment with a trained and qualified staff committed to making a difference in the lives of all our children. I believe that every child can learn. We are responsible for giving each of them an equal opportunity to succeed in school and thoroughly preparing them for kindergarten. I am fully committed to this job and will work with the fantastic staff at all the Early Childhood Academy locations to ensure each family and child has a safe and positive early education and care experience.
