Request InfoWelcome to Heritage Children’s Academy
At Heritage Children’s Academy in Wake Forest, North Carolina, we understand what families want most: a safe, loving environment where children are truly known and cared for. That’s why we provide exceptional childcare for children from infants to school-age, all in one convenient location designed with families in mind.
Our experienced team is dedicated to helping your child thrive at every stage. In our infant program, babies are cared for by consistent, loving caregivers who focus on comfort, routine, and developmental support. As your child grows, they’ll transition into our toddler program, where age-appropriate learning and play spark confidence, independence, and curiosity.
For older children, we offer after-school programs and exciting summer camps that blend learning and fun through enriching activities, homework support, and plenty of time to connect with friends.
Located in the heart of Wake Forest, our center makes it easy for busy families to access trusted, high-quality care. Join our childcare community and experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is in a place where they can grow, learn, and shine with confidence.
Meet Our Director
Hello! My name is Kayla Nowak, and I am the Center Director here at Heritage Children’s Academy! Before accepting this position, I taught in the K-Ready classroom for three years and I was the Assistant Director for two years. I have a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and the level III Administration Credential.
I have wanted to be an early childhood educator for as long as I can remember, and my passion for the field has only grown as I have progressed through my career and education. My devotion to children stems from being one of the eldest in a large family. I am a local Wake Forest resident and my fiancé and I are currently looking for a home! I enjoy spending our time camping, reading, and with family!
