We’re excited to share that our new Childcare Room at Luce Road is officially open for children 18–30 months old with our lead teachers Miss Brea and Miss Arden! 🎉
This space was thoughtfully designed with our youngest learners in mind — offering a safe, nurturing environment where toddlers can explore, play, and grow. From age-appropriate learning centers and sensory activities to cozy quiet areas and plenty of room to move, we’ve created a classroom that supports early development, independence, and social skills.
We’re so proud to welcome our little learners into this new space and can’t wait to watch them thrive! If you have questions or would like more information, please reach out — we’d love to connect with you.
Missed school days add up. Don't let your student fall behind. Every day matters!

Alma Public Schools knows helping students develop empathy and learn how to process their emotions in positive, healthy ways is crucial. That’s why APS has Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) classes for K-5th grade students.
Led by Kristie Hancock, students learn how to manage big feelings and tackle challenges with confidence through engaging games and activities. Younger students’ lessons center around identifying feelings and developing coping skills, while older students learn about conflict resolution and self-reflection.
“SEL gives students the tools to handle emotions, build strong friendships and grow confidence—skills that support success both inside and outside the classroom,” said Hancock. “Students put SEL skills into practice all day long – in the classroom, at recess, at home and with friends – to solve problems, build relationships and make positive choices.”
