About Ready Set Grow Academy

At Ready Set Grow Academy, we believe that the first five years of a child’s life are the most critical for growth and development. Located in the heart of Middletown, DE, our center-based childcare offers a nurturing childcare environment where children ages 1 to 12 can explore, learn, and excel.

We are proud to implement the Creative Curriculum, an experience-based and theme-based approach that turns daily routines into learning opportunities. From sensory play and morning snacks to structured “core hours” and outdoor exploration, our goal is to foster engagement and motivation in every child.
