We are a family-owned business with over 20 years of experience in childhood education. We are passionate about fostering children’s growth and learning.

Our priority or goal is to be an extension of your family, dedicated to nurturing your child’s full potential.
Our Philosophy
At Leonardo Da Vinci International Academy, we believe that learning, like laughter, brings joy. Our high-quality education fosters personal growth through hands-on exploration, discovery, and play. We focus on key areas such as creative play, social emotional development, world language, STEAM, and nature/outdoor exploration. Through a variety of teaching approaches, we nurture a lifelong love of learning, recognizing that each child is unique and learns at their own pace through meaningful experiences. Our dedicated teachers offer personalized support, fostering self-confidence, independence, and foundational skills that set the stagefor both academic and personal success.
Positive Discipline
At Leonardo DaVinci International School, we are committed to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. Our teachers are trained in the Positive Discipline approach which integrates kindness and firmness into the daily lives of children while building skills that will last them for a lifetime. This approach is centered around children’s instinctive need to feel connected to others and their inner capability through teaching and learning rather than punishment. We apply strategies that are tailored to the age and developmental needs of each child. Through this growth, children build and nurture characteristics to lead them to success throughout their lives including compassion, enthusiasm for life, empathy, courtesy, respect, and much more. Our goal is to set clear boundaries, expectations, guidelines, and routines to create a community that is healthy, safe, and engaging.
We encourage parents to try Positive Discipline strategies at home. If you are interested in the Positive Discipline approach, please refer to the website: www.positivediscipline.com
Helping Your Child Explore, Grow, & Learn
Embracing Leonardo da Vinci’s multiple intelligences — he was a mathematician, painter, sculptor, inventor, musician, writer, and engineer– we see each child with its own unique set of skills, needs, learning style, and abilities.
Our school promotes the deepest kind of learning by encouraging children to become self-directed learners who explore, develop curiosity, and solve problems in a fun and engaging environment. Through developmentally appropriate activities, students are encouraged to learn at their own pace, build their math and literacy competency, develop gross and fine motor skills, social-emotional learning, and world awareness.
Play is the vehicle for learning essential skills for academic and future success. Daily play and exploration support children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development, fostering in all areas. Our dedicated teachers nurture each child’s interests and unique abilities within a supportive, joyful, and structured environment.
