Play, Love, Learn. Where Academic Excellence Begins....
Cornerstone Early Childhood Academy is a K-3 private school located in a family oriented community in Cleveland
Play That Builds Strong Readers
Children develop strong early reading and language skills through imaginative play, storytelling, and rich conversation, recognizing that young children learn best when literacy is joyful, meaningful, and purposefully designed.
Trauma-Informed, Emotionally Safe Classrooms
Our classrooms are designed to help children feel safe, seen, and supported, so they can regulate emotions, build confidence, and stay engaged in learning.
Social-Emotional Skills for Life
Children practice sharing, problem-solving, and expressing feelings every day, building the emotional intelligence they need for school success and healthy relationships.
A School Where Their Child Feels Safe and Understood
Many parents are concerned about their child’s emotional well-being, attention, and behavior especially after early stress, disrupted routines, or developmental differences. Cornerstone offers trauma-informed classrooms where children are supported, not punished, and where emotional regulation is taught alongside academics. Parents value knowing their child is in an environment that builds confidence, security, and a love of learning.
The Cornerstone Difference
Families choose Cornerstone Early Childhood Academy because we provide a learning environment where children are known, supported, and challenged in ways that honor how young learners grow best. Our play-based, trauma-informed approach builds strong foundations in literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional development while keeping learning joyful and meaningful. At Cornerstone, children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and develop confidence as learners, while families gain a trusted partner committed to academic excellence, emotional well-being, and long-term success for every child.
