“Books are a form of political action.
Books are knowledge.
Books are reflection.
Books change your mind.”
– Toni Morrison
“When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that’s all there was.” –Oprah
“Scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain unless it is done in play, in which it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions.”
– Dr. Karyn Purvis
Empowerment Station Academy is a licensed preschool center offering child care and early education curriculum for up to 90 children.
Our child care center helps children in the age range of Infant Care, 1 yr old, 2 yr old, 3 yr old, 4 yr old, 5 yr old Pre-Sch, 5-9 yr old, 1 -12 yr old. We also provide participants with a subsidized childcare program.
Our caring staff anticipate your infant’s needs by reading their cues effectively. Infants grow and thrive when they bond with their caregivers. Staff will share with parents details about your infant’s activities so you may keep them in a healthy routine.
Toddlers with plenty of chances to run, jump and climb grown into kids who are physically confident and more likely to be active and healthy adults. We provide our toddlers with many opportunities to engage in gross motor play.
We help our preschool students harness the power of play. Play assists the development of the brain’s structure and function, and promotes the acquisition of executive functions. These are the “soft skills” that help ESA preschoolers be emotionally ready for kindergarten.
We don’t stop supporting our students once they enter school. Our students continue to receive supports after school in our tutoring programs, homework help, and summer camps. Local educators can easily identify students who have attended ESA.
