Dartford
Summerfield Academy is an exceptional preschool in Spring, Texas serving
children six weeks to eleven years of age, celebrating 36 years in the
community. Founded in 1985 by Joyce Harlow, the academy is now owned by one of
Ms. Harlow’s first students, April Lord Ruzicka. Surrounded by students, Joyce
clearly remembers standing in the middle of her newly purchased acre of land,
when a smiling, curly, red-haired girl named Summer came running across the
field towards her yelling, “Mrs. Harlow, Mrs. Harlow!” “In that moment I knew my
preschool had to be named Summerfield Academy.” The Learning Process At
Summerfield Academy, it always has and always will be about the children. They
learn through active exploration and involvement in a thematic, literature based
curriculum. Summerfield teachers facilitate the learning process by creating a
wide variety of environments for your child to explore and experience, building
year over year. They are committed to providing a developmentally appropriate
educational program where children feel safe and loved. Teachers strive to teach
the “whole” child, the social, emotional, physical and intellectual. Reasons to
