ESA has some amazing teachers!
With the anticipated winter weather expected to begin as early as 7:00 AM, we have made the difficult decision to close Early Start Academy on Wednesday. We will monitor conditions and provide updates via Brightwheel regarding Thursday and Friday, we are hopeful that we can return on
Please take care, stay warm, and be safe during this winter weather.
After closely monitoring the weather we have decided that Early Start Academy will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22. The safety of our parents, children, and staff is our top priority, and we want everyone to stay safe during these conditions.
We are hopeful for improved weather and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Thursday, January 23 for a great day! Thank you for your understanding and support.
