Aley Christian Academy (ACA) is a ministry of the Aley United Methodist Church. The ACA is licensed by the state of Ohio to provide pre-school, a full-day care, as well as before and after-school care for children 18 months through 11 years old.

The ACA provides an environment of Christian love, understanding, and respect to help children prepare for and be successful in school. Our goal is to help children develop intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

The preschool program is academically based. The daily program includes large muscle activities, small motor skill development, group experiences, music appreciation, concept development, language development and an introduction to computer usage. Children are encouraged to explore, create, and grow as unique individuals. A hot lunch is served daily and snacks are served in the morning and afternoon. The children sing or recite a prayer before lunch and snacks.

All staff members are trained and certified in first aid, communicable disease recognition & prevention, and child abuse recognition & prevention. Our teachers are qualified caregivers who continue to receive extensive continuing education on current issues in early childhood education.
