Launch Academy is a preschool program designed for children preparing to enter kindergarten the following fall. We focus on building strong academic foundations in reading, writing, and math while developing confidence in every child.Families choose Launch Academy for a smaller, more individualized environment where children receive the attention they need before entering a full classroom setting. We provide a structured, supportive environment that prepares students academically, socially, and emotionally for kindergarten.

PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE.

Launch Academy began in 2013 in Pam Fischer’s basement with just six children. What started as a small, intentional learning environment has grown into a thriving program serving over 60 students, including extended care options for working families.Launch is an accelerated preschool program led by dedicated instructors who put children first. One-on-one and small group instruction is a cornerstone of our approach, allowing each child to progress with confidence. Children also have the opportunity to pray before snack, reflecting our supportive, values-based environment.Launch Academy continues to evolve to meet the needs of today’s learners. We now offer a computer lab to support early technology skills and are proud to be the only preschool in Clay County that implements the IXL program, just as Clay Community Schools do.
