Southgate Children's Academy (SCA) was established in August 2002
by a small group of parents and teachers with extensive experience in management and early childhood education. SCA
is proud to be an independent, locally owned and operated school with an emphasis on the development of a strong sense of
community.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality care possible for children ages 6 weeks to preschool.
Our philosophy is that children should be in an environment where they are first and foremost loved and nurtured, lasting
friendships encouraged, and where they develop a life-long love for learning and growth.
SCA has a very active
parent organization, Southgate Children's Academy Parent's Association (SCAPA) because we believe that parent
participation and collaboration is vital to our success.
SCAPA hosts the school's annual Family
Picnic, Teacher Appreciation Week, and Fall Fest. SCAPA meetings are held monthly at the school on the first Thursday
of each month, with participation and representation from the ownership and management of SCA in order to provide outstanding
communication and an open forum for the discussion of suggestions and ideas. SCAPA also takes an active role in welcoming
and supporting new families.
SCA also sponsors an annual Spring Egg Hunt, Mother's Day Tea, Father's Day
Celebration, Week of the Young Child, a monthly Parents Night Out, and other special events in an effort to realize our goal
of offering an environment where friendships are encouraged and fostered between children, our families and staff.
