Grow With Us Learning Academy Announces New Freeport Child Care Center Opening Summer 2026

Fort Walton Beach, Florida - June 29, 2026 -

Grow With Us Learning Academy has announced plans for a new Freeport daycare location, with an estimated opening in mid-July 2026, extending its reach in the Florida Panhandle to serve more families seeking quality childcare and early education.

The new Freeport facility will offer the academy’s full range of programs — nursery, toddler, preschool, and Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK). Like the academy’s existing locations across Northwest Florida, the Freeport center will implement dual-curriculum approaches designed to deliver comprehensive early education through hands-on learning.

“The decision to expand into Freeport reflects our commitment to meeting growing demand for quality early childhood education in Northwest Florida,” said Emily Johns, Director of Operations at Grow With Us Learning Academy. “Our new facility will give families in Freeport and surrounding communities access to the same research-based curricula and nurturing environment that have made our programs successful across the region.”

The Freeport location will feature age-appropriate learning environments designed to support each stage of a child’s development. The nursery program provides personalized care for infants in a safe, stimulating setting that promotes physical and emotional growth, while the toddler program builds motor skills, language, and social interaction through exploratory activities.

For preschool-aged children, the academy prepares students for kindergarten with activities promoting literacy, numeracy, science exploration, and creative arts. The VPK program aligns with Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards, preparing four-year-olds for academic success through focused development of reading, writing, and social skills.

The academy’s teaching philosophy centers on the belief that children learn best through hands-on experiences and age-appropriate activities. Teachers at the new location are selected for their enthusiasm, creativity, and positive approach, maintaining the standards established across the academy’s facilities.

“Choosing the right childcare provider is one of the most important decisions parents make,” Johns added. “Our expansion into Freeport lets us bring our proven educational approach to more families, ensuring their children receive the foundation they need for future success.”

The announcement comes as demand for quality childcare continues to grow throughout the Florida Panhandle. The new facility will help address the need for accessible early education in the Freeport area while maintaining the academy’s commitment to small class sizes and individualized attention.

Families can learn more, join the interest list, or schedule a tour through the academy’s website or Facebook page.
