​
Welcome to Just Kids Academy, I'm Mrs. Shara Bartlett, Owner and founder of
Just Kids Academy International School, formally known as Christian
United Academy. I Live with my husband and two sons. It has always been my
passion to enter the foundation years as an educator with the ability to not only
make a difference but to learn and grow as I continue in my career of choice.
I absolutely adore kids and I have always found the early years to be wise
yet eager and fun. My personal philosophy on Early childhood development is,
children are like sponges and computers. They soak up everything and what you
put in you get out, thus I focus on putting in knowledge not just by the books
but by creativity laughter, and fun.

Our school Mascot is the Phoenix Bird. We chose the Phoenix bird because it represents Power and rebirth. It's an Asian immortal bird
The phoenix is a legendary Immortal bird born out of fire. It was said to have red, gold, orange & blue feathers and a beautiful voice.
Our school started in 2010 under a different name and was reborn as Just Kids Academy International school.
We came back stronger and better than before. Thus the Phoenix bird is our choice of house shirts and sporting games.
We believe that children should always be treated with respect and as unique individuals. We strongly believe in teamwork, spiritual growth, and quality care for each individual that Attends Just Kids Academy. Every person who cares for a child over the years has a strong and direct impact on that child's development. Everything we do at Just Kids Academy revolves around these beliefs. In our studies of successful child care arrangements, I have found that there are six (6) common traits. They are:
-
God comes first at all times.
-
An excellent relationship between provider and child.

An excellent relationship between provider and parent.
