New owners for Wantage childcare center

WANTAGE — It doesn’t take a village to raise a child, it takes Imagine Nation.

New owners have taken over the Boulder Hills shopping center’s Kiddie Academy. Officially called Imagine Nation Learning Center since Oct. 1, the early-learning center will be hosting grand opening festivities and promotions for the rest of the month.

“We’re offering promotions right now that are unbeatable,” said school director Alisha Cole.

The school will be offering tuition discounts and free trials for the rest of October in order to add to the current 65-student roster. Boasting eight classrooms and three playgrounds, the 10,000-plus square foot “state-of-the-art school” can accommodate as many as 120 children, Cole adds.

About Imagine Nation
Imagine Nation has had a location in Union, for the last seven years, and Cole said the experience there has been overwhelmingly positive.

“We keep a tenured staff with certified teachers,” Cole said. “We add a lot of fun and creativity throughout the curriculum to educate and nurture the students.”

With technology in every classroom and integration of special needs students, she said Imagine Nation learners are better prepared for the school years ahead.

The dedication of the school’s management is also a highlight of Imagine Nation.

“The personal attention that we give the families sets us apart,” Cole said.

The school offers full-day programs for children as young as six weeks and offers before and after care for kindergarten students. The school’s customizable schedules are also a big hit for parents with longer commutes, Cole adds.

The customizable schedules also serve to help families who don’t think they can afford the school’s programs.

“We try to find a way to implement every family,” Cole said.

The convenient Route 23 location also makes the school a great choice for many area families.

In addition to the grand opening specials, Imagine Nation will be hosting a Halloween parade and trunk-or-treat in the Boulder Hills plaza on Oct. 31.
