 About US 

Our History

Loving Care was established as a child development center in 1980 with a passion for developing young minds while sharing the love of Christ. Loving Care offered preschool classes, but in 2016 Young Achievers Academy became a private school, offering both VPK and a kindergarten program. In 2017 the vision expanded to a K-8 educational center. Today, Young Achievers Academy stands among the premier K-12 private schools in St Lucie County. At our foundation we offer a safe, loving atmosphere that will lead students to their full potential. 

We strive to motivate each student to become the best they can be. We support students academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Call 1-800-96-ABUSE or report online at: http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/abuse/report/. Signs of Physical Abuse The child may have unexplained bruises, welts, cuts, or other injuries, broken bones; or burns.

Signs of Neglect The child may have unattended medical needs, little or no supervision at home, poor hygiene, or appear underweight. A child experiencing neglect may be frequently tired or hungry, steal food, or appear overly needy for adult attention. Patterns of Abuse: Serious abuse usually involves a combination of factors. While a single sign may not be significant, a pattern of physical or behavioral signs is a serious indicator and should be reported. Liability Protections Any person, official, or institution participating in good faith in any act authorized or required by law, or reporting in good faith any instance of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect to the department or any law enforcement agency, shall be immune from any civil or criminal liability which might otherwise results by reason of such action.
