FUTURE LEADERS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC

What FUTURE LEADERS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC does

Future Leaders Christian Academy Inc is a privately held, founder-owned Christian childcare and early childhood education provider headquartered in Georgia, operating three physical classroom locations in the Atlanta metropolitan area (Atlanta on Polar Rock Road, Jonesboro on West Avenue, and Decatur on Kensington Road). The company was founded by Deke Cooper with a stated mission to deliver quality childcare and enrichment to under-served mid-to-lower income communities, narrowing the gap in care quality relative to more affluent areas. It operates entirely on a direct-to-consumer basis, enrolling individual families through on-site tours and downloadable enrollment forms, with no online or remote service delivery.

The academy's core offering is a multi-tier developmental program spanning Infants (from 6 weeks), Toddlers, Early Pre-School, Pre-Kindergarten, and an After School program for school-age children up to 12 years. The curriculum emphasizes holistic child development across mental, social, and spiritual dimensions, supplemented by enrichment programs including foreign language instruction in Spanish and Mandarin taught by native-speaking instructors. Operating hours are extended (6:30 AM to 7:00 PM weekdays, plus Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM) to accommodate working parents.

The business model is tuition-based and recurring, with revenue generated from per-child enrollment fees that vary by program and location; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing is conducted organically through community engagement, parent testimonials, word-of-mouth referrals, and social media channels including Facebook and YouTube. The academy is a sub-scale, independent operator with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no franchise or multi-state footprint.
