We are a Creative Curriculum-based Academy in Kansas City. We care for children up to 6 years old and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on providing the best quality childcare possible and igniting, educating and transforming children to impact our communities through a world-class, Christ-centered educational experience. We’ve carefully created a home-away-from-home environment that encourages our little ones to learn and develop in a safe place equipped with the right tools for the future.

Who We Are
Little Hearts Academy got its start in Kansas City in 2021 by Yolanda Nero. Yolanda, a Senior Pastor in the local church, from her years working with the community, knew that an inclusive Christian childcare academy was needed to bring the community together and thrive. That’s why we decided to do things a bit differently at Little Hearts Academy by creating a space which fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment where children can explore the world around them.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.

Merging Teaching and Childcare
We offer a variety of programs, including daycare for infants and toddlers, and all children up to 5 years old.
We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our academy.
By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly.
