Where Learning Meets Love - and Purpose
A Better Day Academy brings together a commitment to education and a belief in the power of nurturing relationships. We help children build a foundation for learning in a community where they feel valued and encouraged.

Our Story
A Better Day Academy was founded in April 2022 by Christa Jemison and Tiarrah Kent, whose shared passion for children and education inspired a place where learning and loving care could grow together.
Today, the academy serves families through two Cleveland Heights campuses: Mayfield and Monticello. Both locations share a mission and curriculum centered on children’s learning, development, and well-being.
As our community grows, our purpose remains the same: to partner with families and give children a strong start.
