Our 2s & 3s

Foundation + Nurturing + Independence. Through creative, teacher-guided activities and hands-on learning, children develop language, early problem-solving skills, and the confidence to work independently and within a group. Students are introduced to letter recognition, early phonics, numbers, shapes, colors, and name recognition.

Right Start Academy was the best decision we could have made for our son’s school. He was at a different school before starting at RSA, and it’s been night and day. We’ve been here for almost a year now, and it’s been phenomenal, to the point that we will be enrolling our other child here too. The communication, the attention to detail, the care for the children, and the academic instruction are honestly 10/10. I would recommend RSA to any parent!

RSA is simply class personified! Their office staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming. The teachers really show a genuine care for the development of their students. This place is a gem and a treasure in the community and state. It truly is a place that lives up to its name.
