Discover our services
At Mother Doves Academy, we are passionate about helping young learners learn to fly and be their best selves. We offer a variety of services to children between ages 2-9.
Our mission here at Mother Doves Academy is to foster a love for learning in ALL young minds (doves). We are here to cultivate the mindsets of children 2 to 9 years of age and help them become confident and competent learners who are not afraid to fly.
- We provide quality instruction to each of our students in areas of Language Arts, Mathematics, Social-Emotional Learning, and Character Development.
- We promote an environment of mutual respect, safety, and appreciation of diversity.
- We believe ALL students can achieve whatever they set their thoughts and hearts to once given the opportunity.
- We encourage students to see failures as opportunities to learn, and, here at Mother Doves Academy, we provide those opportunities for children to be whom they dream to be.
I Can...
Just Try
As the smallest girl in her class and ‘in the world’ (so she felt), little Terri had many moments where she thought she couldn’t do most things because she was just too little. She wouldn’t even try, until one day her attitude shifted. Terri learned the power of saying “I Can” by just trying.
Many kids today are like Terri and struggle with believing in themselves. In fact, some children are so uncertain of themselves, they don’t even try. Terri is now ready to inspire children like herself, by leading by example.
This inspiring illustrated book shows how young Terri learns that she can do anything she sets her mind to; all she has to do is “Just Try.”
