Who We Are

Who We Are

FROG Academy was founded in Garland in 2019 by Vachele Franklin, who left her full-time teaching job to create a nurturing space for early learning. We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage exploration, discovery, and emotional intelligence.

Our mission is to impact our community through building a solid foundation by providing an excellent, safe, nurturing, and high-quality education in a loving Christian environment where all children are encouraged to develop at their own pace in an atmosphere that promotes scholarly excellence.
