About
Miss Kelly's Academy is a community-focused preschool in Albuquerque, NM, serving children ages 1–6. The school follows a Reggio Emilia–inspired, theme-based curriculum that responds to children’s interests and emphasizes learning through play and hands-on experiences. Developmentally appropriate learning centers support exploration in art, music, dance, science, construction, nature, and communication.
Its community preschool model treats the entire school as the classroom, rather than assigning children to a single room or teacher. This approach encourages independence and collaboration while helping students feel a sense of belonging and ownership in their learning environment. Instruction targets the whole child through individual encouragement, self-motivation, social-emotional development, and positive reinforcement.
Programs include a toddler program, a preschool track during the school year, and summer camp options. Families can join a waitlist, register online, and schedule school tours, which are offered on Saturday mornings by appointment. Miss Kelly's Academy accepts childcare assistance.
