Welcome to Joyful Zen! I'm Charlotte Acevedo, an early-childhood educator, a mom, and the founder of our little micro-school. For more than five years I've spent my days learning and playing right alongside young children, and this whole dream started with one very special teacher: my son, Zen. He inspired me to build a place where kids can learn, grow, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.
Our Academy is for children ages 6–10, from 1st through 5th grade. Together with our wonderful team of educators, we pour our hearts into giving every student the warm, joyful, hands-on learning experience they deserve.
We can't wait to meet the bright, curious kids joining us this year. Come see our space, meet our team, and picture your child here, we'd love to welcome your family into the Joyful Zen community.
The real magic is in the everyday moments, our teachers and students learning, laughing, and growing side by side.
