About HOC Academy

Our professional and nurturing team offer a secure, comfortable and welcoming environment for your child to learn much of what they need to know as they grow! With our carefully planned and accredited play-based curriculum, we engage the natural curiosity of children to teach Pre-Math, Pre-Literacy, Pre-Science, and guide healthy emotional behavior. HOC Academy provides the stepping-stones to success!
Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul.

Our Happy Parents
“Our son started at HOC when he was 6 months old. We have always had great relationships with the staff in each classroom he’s been through. He is now 4 and attends both HOC and the local public school for Pre-K. They tell me at the public school that he is more than ready for Kindergarten. HOC not only provides great childcare but they start teaching letters, sounds, numbers and shapes early on! We made the right choice 4.5 years ago and are very grateful for a safe place for our son!”
“House of Children is a true blessing. From the moment we reached out they have been incredible to work with. We looked for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for our children. Not only do my little ones love going here, we love it too. The teachers and administrators are an extension of us as parents as our partners. They communicate daily via pictures and imortant notes and care about our children’s milestones. With HOC I feel connected to my children even when im away and know my kids are always loved and cared for. Your child will flourish at HOC!”
“I have had my 2 children in HOC for close to six years. My daughter began at 18 months, and my son at 6 years old. My daughter has grown up with the staff here, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and education that has been provided to her over the years. The administrative staff is always amazing with answering questions, keeping parents informed and putting the children’s needs and happiness first. The staff/teachers have ALWAYS welcomed my kids with open arms (literally, all the hugs). I would recommend this facility to ANYONE that is looking for part-time, full-time care or even just for their summer camp program.”
