At AIM Academy, we commit each day to creating a thriving and supportive school community as we relentlessly pursue our passion of preparing your child for success in both life and school through our play-based curriculum.
As a premier preschool and early care provider serving Alabama’s growing communities, AIM Academy caters to the needs of children and their families. Children as young as 6 months old can benefit from our childcare and education programs, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarten. For children between 5 and 12 years of age, we provide an exciting before and after school program and summer camp!
As children in early school are developing rapidly, our programs provide a safe and nurturing environment for children aged 6 weeks to 36 months to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. Truly tailored to your child’s stage of development
Part Time & Full Time Available
We offer before and after-school programs that are both engaging and exciting at Aim Academy! Transportation to and from your child’s local elementary school is provided at no extra charge. On teacher work days, breaks, and certain holidays, full-day services are also available.
Years of Experience
Children Educated
We have developed a highly innovative, 100% digital curriculum to provide our teachers with a robust library of activities and lessons that follow a developmental progression.
By breaking down development skills into smaller steps, we challenge your children while also building their confidence. As your child experiments, asks questions, and explores, they will develop the skills necessary to become a successful, lifelong learner.
We believe that teachers facilitate each child’s individualized learning journey. Our highly-skilled teachers will build upon your child’s existing competencies through intentional and targeted activities that will help them build confidence through practice.
Children learn through play by practicing and refining their skills, having fun, and exploring new things.
Our soccer classes for preschoolers and toddlers introduce young children to the fundamentals of the sport in a fun and supportive environment, promoting physical activity, teamwork, and social development.
Gymnastics classes for preschoolers and toddlers are designed to promote physical development, improve coordination and balance, and build confidence and social skills in a fun and engaging way.

“From the moment we stepped foot through Bright & Early’s doors, we have felt like we are part of a great family. Our son’s teachers are so loving and attentive. We couldn’t ask for a better place to bring our child. Our experiences have been nothing but positive and we look forward to the many years ahead of us at Bright & Early.”

“There is no greater testimony than seeing your child excel, both socially and academically. When my son comes home and is able to identify certain objects and even recognizes his name, this makes me feel confident that the teachers are doing a great job. I adore the staff and my son’s teachers. “
