School's History

Cyn's Academy (formerly known as Cyn's Play Place Academy), was founded in 2021 as a small preschool. We immediately began to grow due to our strong focus on early education and the nature of our teaching methods. Our community of Loganville, GA voted us "Best of Georgia" in 2022. Through parent surveys, we learned that many parents valued the time we invest into their children's physical, educational, and also their personal development as well. So much so, that we were able to successfully launch a virtual program for those who did not want to take their children in to public schools especially in the light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The overwhelming turn out of the virtual preschool participants then progressed to us challenging our organization by expanding into our virtual K-5 elementary.


 Mission, Vision, and Values

The mission of Cyn’s Play Place is to educate and prepare our students for successful and productive lives. Our goal is to meet our children where they are and expose them to higher education learning. Not only do we strive for academic/cognitive growth but physical growth as well to meet age-appropriate milestones and beyond. Here we provide a wide range of activities for our children that promotes such growth. From the preschool program, our toddlers had engaged in fine and gross motor activities that include examples such as; turning pages in a board book, stacking blocks, gripping a crayon to scribble on paper, using the play area to strengthen leg muscles through walking, climbing, and scooting along the floor. With our preschoolers we expose them to their alphabets, numeracy, colors, and shapes. We aimed to helping them grow more into their personality with activities that help with mannerisms and self-efficiency.

Our kindergartens are exposed to a little more of the average kindergarten academics. They work with more advance literacy and numeracy which focuses on sentence building, compound words, multi-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping, multiplications, etc. First and Second graders dive deep into the main subject curriculum which includes- math, science, social studies, reading,language arts. We also include foreign language such as Spanish, Hebrew, and French. Here their skills are challenged and monitored closely as we look to ensure a child is developmentally and mentally prepared for the educational workload. During these years is where we are able to give learning assessments to help identify possible learning disabilities. If so,our instructors are able to tailor individual learning styles and packages for a child. Third through Fifth grade are where most of our early learners are challenged to understand, apply, and develop. Here we look for a student's independence, initiative, and self-awareness.

Our instructors continue to offer age-appropriate and mind-challenging lesson plans/school work. Some Lessons can be student-led. For example; Virtually, when the instructor will put up a worksheet and ask the students to read a paragraph and explain what they have read to their peers. The class can then engage in a conversation regarding the subject/objective. The success of our students is what keeps our program on our toes. Instructors provide quizzes, tests/exams periodically to ensure each student is on the right track. Metric Assessments as well as interviews and admin observations are also systems in which to ensure students' needs are met particularly in terms of requiring IEPs or other learning interventions.

With class sizes being relatively small, one teacher to fifteen students, instructors can certainly pay close attention to students' needs to properly identify a need of any sort. As of 2023, our Virtual program consists of a wide demographic of 90+ students. Thus far, we've had a mixture of both home-school students who use our curriculum for self-led instruction at home, and those who attend class virtually during the weekdays, led by a n online instructor. Progress with our virtual program has remained on a steady, increasing pace. Current initiatives Cyn's has in place for both short and long-term include; The continued use of our Metric Assessments to help us identify any learning disabilities. This is one of the most important things to our school due to the fact that 8 out of 10 children suffer from some form of mental, behavioral, and learning disability. Cyn's is committed to helping our families identify and close the learning gap. We continue to employ and offer professional training and development to our staff in these areas as well. Another initiative we are working towards long-term is the expansion of our curriculum by incorporating STEAM (formally STEM), to our program. Including additional foreign languages, culinary, and world/African-American culture & history are very important to us as well.


Our Philosophy

The School admits students regardless of disability, race, color, creed, ethnic, or national origin who possess the motivation, ability, and character which would enable them to succeed in our School community to the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. The School does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, color, creed, ethnic, or national origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other School-administered programs.

While we believe religious practices for preschool children should be left up to the parents, our Elementary does incorporate and introduces Christian biblical education as a part of our K-5 curriculum.
