Fall 2027
A New Standard in Early Childhood Education is Coming to Camp Springs, Maryland
Turtle Early Learning Academy is a Premium Private Academy serving children from 6 weeks through age 12.
At Turtle, children will experience care and learning from infancy through school age, with excellence felt in every detail. From the way they are welcomed and cared for to how they are taught, challenged, and celebrated. Families can expect a secure and nurturing environment, a prepared and united team of educators, research-based learning aligned with Maryland Early Learning Standards, and purposeful enrichment guided by our proprietary Turtle Enrichment Curriculum.
Together, these experiences will help children develop confidence, curiosity, independence, strong relationships, and the foundations they need for kindergarten and beyond, all while having fun with purpose.
Built for Children, Families, and Community
Every Detail. Every Relationship. Every Day.
A Secure and Nurturing Environment
Children will experience thoughtful classroom design, controlled entry, active supervision, dependable routines, responsive care, and respectful interactions that help them feel physically and emotionally secure.
Prepared, Supported, & United Educators
Turtle educators will bring their knowledge, experience, talents, and perspectives together as one united team. Through intentional preparation, ongoing professional development, leadership support, collaboration, and shared standards, our educators will work together to deliver excellence.
Learning That Prepares Children
Children will learn through research-based experiences aligned with Maryland’s early childhood learning standards and strengthened by Turtle’s proprietary enrichment curriculum. Purposeful play, exploration, conversation, and hands-on learning will help build strong foundations for kindergarten and beyond.
Care That Is Personal
We will take time to understand each child’s routines, temperament, interests, strengths, development, and individual needs. At Turtle, children will be known, supported, and celebrated. Not simply supervised.
Proactive Family Partnership
We will listen, communicate, and work alongside families throughout each child’s experience. Partnership at Turtle means sharing information, addressing concerns early, celebrating progress, and helping families remain connected to their child’s care, learning, and development.
A Commitment to Community
Turtle Early Learning Academy intends to become an active and contributing part of the Camp Springs community. Through meaningful relationships with local schools, organizations, businesses, leaders, and families, we hope to create opportunities, support children and educators, and strengthen the community we are proud to join.
