About Us
Nurturing Hearts, Growing Minds
At Trinity Academy and Daycare, we believe that early childhood is a sacred time of wonder, growth, and discovery. Founded with a passion for nurturing young learners, our center serves as a loving, faith-based environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired every day.
Located in the heart of Huntington, West Virginia, we are more than just caregivers — we are educators, mentors, and trusted partners in your child’s early journey. Our team of experienced teachers and childcare professionals is committed to helping every child grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
We embrace each child’s unique personality and learning style, encouraging curiosity through play-based learning, interactive exploration, and positive reinforcement. Rooted in Christian values, we emphasize compassion, kindness, and community in everything we do.
Our Mission
To instill a lifelong love for learning in every child: At Trinity Academy and Daycare, our mission is to provide more than just early education — it’s to create a foundation for life.
We aim to nurture every child in a safe, loving, and faith-centered environment that supports their emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual development. Through hands-on learning, guided exploration, and gentle structure, we help children grow into confident, kind, and curious individuals.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that each child’s journey is unique. That’s why we focus on building strong relationships, celebrating individuality, and providing experiences that promote creativity, independence, and joy.
We don’t just prepare children for school — we prepare them for life, instilling values that stay with them as they grow: compassion, integrity, resilience, and a deep love for learning.
Our Vision
To become a leading beacon of early childhood education where every child is seen, heard, and inspired to thrive — in school, in faith, and in life. Our vision is to create a learning environment that uplifts every child, builds strong family partnerships, and transforms early education into a transformative experience.
We envision a community where children wake up excited to learn, explore, and be themselves — where parents feel confident that their little ones are in caring, capable hands.
Through innovation, dedication, and heart-centered teaching, Trinity Academy and Daycare strives to be recognized not only for academic excellence but for the genuine love, care, and values we pour into every child’s development.
We see a future where children from all backgrounds come together in a nurturing space that celebrates differences, fosters faith, and encourages them to dream big — because we believe that even the smallest hands can make the biggest impact.
Our Work
Building Foundations for a Brighter Future
At Trinity Academy and Daycare, our work is centered around one powerful mission: to nurture, educate, and inspire young children during their most formative years.
We provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children are free to explore, discover, and grow — intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Through a blend of structured learning, creative play, and heartfelt care, we help children build strong foundations that prepare them not only for school, but for life.
Our daily work includes:
- Delivering high-quality early childhood education tailored to each child’s development
- Creating a loving, faith-based environment that supports values like kindness, honesty, and respect
- Offering a preschool curriculum that promotes literacy, numeracy, creativity, and problem-solving
- Supporting families with reliable care, healthy meals, and open communication
- Promoting social-emotional growth through play, storytelling, group activities, and individual attention
Every lesson we teach, every meal we serve, and every hug we give is part of our greater mission: to honor childhood, empower families, and uplift our community — one child at a time.
Childhood Education
At Trinity Academy and Daycare, early childhood education is more than ABCs and 123s — it’s about laying the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, confidence, and compassion.
We follow a play-based, child-centered approach that encourages hands-on exploration, social interaction, and joyful discovery. Our educators thoughtfully guide each child through meaningful activities that build early literacy, math skills, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving abilities — all while honoring their unique pace and personality.
We foster a classroom culture that values questions over answers, wonder over worry, and growth over perfection. Every day at Trinity is filled with creativity, movement, music, and moments that matter.
Preschool Program
Our Preschool Program is designed to give children ages 3–5 the tools, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in kindergarten — and beyond.
We blend structured learning with free play, using a developmentally appropriate curriculum that includes language development, early math, science exploration, creative arts, and social-emotional learning. Children are introduced to group routines, teamwork, listening skills, and independence — all within a nurturing environment where they feel secure and supported.
But Trinity’s preschool is more than academics. We nurture each child’s sense of wonder, teach them how to express themselves, and encourage them to be kind, respectful, and excited about learning.
Healthy Meals & Snacks
We believe that well-nourished children are happier, more focused, and ready to thrive. That’s why Trinity Academy and Daycare provides healthy, balanced meals and snacks each day — made with care, served with love, and aligned with children’s nutritional needs.
Our menu includes a variety of kid-friendly, wholesome foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. We accommodate dietary restrictions and encourage positive mealtime habits through group dining experiences that teach manners, gratitude, and sharing.
Mealtime isn’t just about eating — it’s a time to connect, calm down, and recharge for the day’s adventures.

Why Trinity Academy and Daycare?
We provide a caring, supportive space where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.
Loving Environment
At Trinity Academy and Daycare, love is at the heart of everything we do. From the moment your child walks through our doors, they are welcomed into a nurturing, faith-filled environment where they feel safe, valued, and respected.
Our classrooms are calm, joyful spaces where hugs are never in short supply, and each child’s emotional well-being is a top priority. Our caring teachers form meaningful relationships with every child, offering guidance, encouragement, and comfort as they grow.
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
We believe that children thrive when learning is tailored to their individual stage of development — not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our curriculum is carefully designed to match the unique needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, allowing each child to grow academically, socially, and emotionally at their own pace.
Through play-based learning, structured routines, and hands-on experiences, we introduce early literacy, math, problem-solving, motor skills, and social development in ways that feel natural and engaging.
Family-Focused Approach
We believe that parents are a child’s first and most important teachers, and we’re here to support families every step of the way. At Trinity, we foster a strong partnership with parents through open communication, daily updates, and ongoing support.
Whether it’s a first milestone or a tough day, we’re here to listen, share, and collaborate. We encourage family involvement in school activities, and we make every effort to build a community where caregivers feel welcomed, informed, and empowered.
