In the heart of North Carolina
Just outside of downtown Raleigh
Through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and age-appropriate curriculum, we create a joyful environment where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers can discover, imagine, and develop essential skills at their own pace.
Whether it's tummy time and sensory exploration for our youngest learners, creative play and social development for toddlers, or kindergarten-readiness experiences for preschoolers, every day at Little Makers Academy is filled with meaningful moments and big discoveries.
At Little Makers Academy, we don't just care for children—we help little makers build big futures.
(Ages 6 Weeks - 1 Year)
Our infant classrooms provide a warm, nurturing environment where your baby's safety and comfort come first. Teachers focus on individualized care, following each child's feeding and sleeping schedule while supporting early developmental milestones. Free formula, free diapers, and free wipes are included each day when you enroll your baby in our Infant Care program.
(Ages 1 - 2)
Our toddler classrooms are designed to encourage independence, curiosity, and exploration. At this stage, children are learning to communicate, move confidently, and engage with others. We offer hands-on activities, early language development, music and movement, art experiences, and guided social play to help toddlers build confidence and important social-emotional skills in a safe and engaging setting.
(Ages 2 - 3)
Our young preschool classrooms bridge the gap between toddlerhood and preschool, giving two- and three-year-olds room to grow. Children build language skills, practice sharing and turn-taking, and explore early concepts through play. With potty training support, creative art, music, and plenty of hands-on discovery, we nurture growing independence while keeping every day joyful and fun.
(Ages 3 - 5)
Our preschool classrooms provide a structured, play-based learning environment that prepares children for kindergarten and beyond. Through early literacy and math activities, science exploration, creative arts, and problem-solving experiences, children develop critical thinking and independence. We focus on school readiness while fostering creativity, collaboration, and a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
In-Person or Virtually
Begin by scheduling an in-person or virtual tour of our daycare. This gives you the opportunity to meet our staff, explore the classrooms, learn about our curriculum, and ask any questions about your child's care and development.
After your tour, complete the enrollment application and submit the required enrollment fee. This $125 fee secures your child's spot in our program and allows us to begin preparing their classroom resources.
Before your child's first day, complete the required online parent orientation. This orientation provides important information about policies, daily routines, communication procedures, health and safety guidelines, and what to expect during your child's transition.
Welcome to your child's first day! Bring any required documents, comfort items, and labeled belongings. Our team will be ready to greet your family and help make the transition smooth, positive, and exciting for your child.
“As a first-time parent, leaving my baby anywhere felt overwhelming, but Little Makers Academy made the transition so comforting. The infant teachers are incredibly nurturing and attentive. They follow my baby's routine perfectly and keep me updated throughout the day with photos and notes. I can truly see how much love and care goes into everything they do. My baby is happy, thriving, and reaching new milestones every week. I couldn't ask for a better place for my little one.”
“My baby has been with this daycare since he was 3 months old. This is the best daycare in the Wake county area. I can reach staff at any hour of the day during business hours and get a response. Speech and language therapy, kid yoga and so many cultural events! The food is always fresh and with great presentation! The lighting is also great, I can see everything in the photos and videos I’m sent daily. Very professional staff, no gossip, no drama and they have a standard with their staff.”
“My toddler absolutely loves going to Little Makers Academy! The teachers are patient, energetic, and so encouraging during this busy stage of development. I've seen huge growth in my child's language, social skills, and confidence since starting here. They come home talking about art projects, songs, and their friends every day. It's clear the classroom is structured, engaging, and full of positive energy. We're beyond happy with our experience.”
Schedule your tour and see the classrooms, meet our teachers, and imagine your little maker learning here every day.
