Bethesda Learning Academy and Afterschool Program

The primary objective of Bethesda Learning Academy is to provide high quality wholistic child care. BLA was established to promote the development of the total child by meeting their emotional, social, creative, cognitive, physical and spiritual needs. This goal is accomplished by providing a balanced program that includes both teacher-directed and self-selected activities, quiet as well as active experiences, and the recognition that learning occurs in both formal and informal ways. 

. 

 Young children are essentially connected to their homes and families, and it is understood that parents are and should be the prime influence in their children's lives. BLA seeks to be appropriately responsive to families. BLA staff along with you our parents will work together toward the goal of nurturing each child by providing an environment where all are respected and acknowledged for their individual differences, while providing them with the building blocks for a lifelong love of learning. 

An integral part of our program is spirituality. The center will provide students with the knowledge of God's Word and the Christian way of life. This essential derivative helps to instill the moral compass in each individual child, to help enhance the character-building skill. 

 Our desire is to work collaboratively with you our parents to shape the life and character of each child enrolled in our program to foster lifelong success
