Micah Children's Academy provides a warm and thriving environment where children aged six weeks through Pre-K actively discover and expand their imagination and minds. Our school is conveniently located on a beautiful, lush, expansive property on the Williamson and Davidson County line, serving families of Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, and beyond. We proudly serve up to 84 students in our full-day early learning center. Our students experience a values-based, emergent curriculum that focuses on the development of the whole child. At its core, the Micah Children's Academy is a nurturing place where a love for lifelong learning is fostered. Children are engaged in enriching activities where they can create, problem solve, and discover the world through all their senses.
Congregation Micah
Micah Children’s Academy is located in the education wing of Congregation Micah. Congregation Micah is a vibrant reform synagogue, offering creative and diverse ways to celebrate Jewish life using the rich beliefs and practices of modern Reform Judaism as its foundation. Congregation Micah has adopted the words of Micah (6:8), the Biblical prophet and civil rights advocate as its congregational message of equality and welcome for all: “Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with thy God.”
MCA works with Congregation Micah clergy and staff to enrich our program’s Jewish values-based curriculum, including a weekly “Tot-Shabbat” program.
Micah Children’s Academy Mission
The Micah Children’s Academy provides an educational environment that honors each child within the context of their development, family, and culture, while being leaders in early childhood education. Our Academy cultivates a love for learning—cognitive, social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and verbal—and a thriving intergenerational and diverse community committed to growing the intellectual curiosity and moral consciousness of students and families based on Jewish values.
Micah Children’s Academy Educational Philosophy
Micah Children’s Academy was created with the vision of age-appropriate, play-based learning that integrates the best of early childhood education theories and research-based best practices. The Academy strives to focus on the whole child and scaffold growth in each developmental domain by structuring our day with a variety of learning opportunities where children can construct their own knowledge. We integrate our Jewish values, art, sensory experiences, music, movement, love and awe of nature, math, and science into our every day.
