At Young Scholars Academy, we are passionate about the positive impact of early childhood development and believe everything begins and ends with heart, including your child’s education. For 15 years, Jon and Darcel Cumbo, founders, and owners of Young Scholars Academy, have experienced the evolution of how childcare and early childhood learning are delivered. Their dedication to providing a holistic environment supporting children’s social and academic growth has led them to build a new 10,000 sq. ft. facility in Cary, NC. The new state-of-the-art daycare and preschool center provides a modern, clean, and secure environment that encourages active learning. Young Scholars Academy promotes social, emotional, and academic growth by incorporating literacy, math, science, social studies, and creative arts into daily activities. Two research-based growth and development curriculum programs (Learn Every Day® and Connect4Learing® ) are integrated into the everyday. These programs encourage interdisciplinary learning through play, interaction, and socialized engagement.
