Welcome to Jubilant Academy
Every child deserves a place where they feel safe, understood, encouraged, and excited to learn.
At Jubilant Academy, we don’t believe children should get lost in the crowd. We take the time to learn who they are, what they need, where they are struggling, and what helps them shine.
For nearly 18 years, our doors have been open to New Orleans families. We began as Jubilant Preschoolers, providing dependable early childhood education and care. Today, we are growing into Jubilant Academy—a learning community created to support children from infancy through the elementary years.
Whether your child needs a nurturing beginning, a smaller learning environment, extra academic support, or simply a place where someone truly believes in them, there is room for your family at Jubilant.
More Than a School—A Place to Belong
Families do not need another school making big promises and treating every child the same.
They need people who will pay attention.
At Jubilant Academy, we provide a smaller and more personal learning environment where children can receive guidance, structure, encouragement, and meaningful instruction.
We work to build strong relationships with our students and families because children make better progress when home and school work together.
What Families Can Expect
We are not looking for perfect children or perfect families. We are looking for families who want to partner with us as their children learn, mature, and grow.
A Message From Ms. Lizzell
Every Child
Deserves to Be Seen
I have worked with children and families long enough to know that no two children are exactly alike.
Some children walk into a classroom ready to take off. Others need more time, more patience, more encouragement, or a different way of learning. That does not mean they are less capable. It means we have to meet them where they are and help them move forward.
That is the heart behind Jubilant Academy.
I want our children to receive a strong education, but I also want them to know how to communicate, make good decisions, respect themselves and others, and believe that their future is worth preparing for.
Parents deserve to know that their concerns will be heard. Children deserve teachers who will see more than their behavior or a test score. They deserve adults who will recognize their gifts, correct them with care, and refuse to give up on them.
Jubilant has served New Orleans families for nearly 18 years, and we are still growing, learning, and building. Our name may be changing, but our commitment remains the same: to provide children with a safe place to learn, grow, and become who God created them to be.

Our Programs
Early Childhood Education
Our early childhood program gives young children a safe, loving, and engaging place to begin learning.
Through purposeful play, classroom routines, conversation, music, movement, early literacy, mathematics, science, and creative activities, children develop the skills they need for their next stage of learning.
We help children learn how to listen, express themselves, work with others, solve problems, and become more independent.
Jubilant Microschool
A Smaller Setting With a Bigger Purpose
Our microschool is designed for families who want something more personal than a traditional, crowded classroom.
Students receive focused instruction in reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, science, and social studies. Lessons are adapted to each child’s current skill level so students can receive support where they need it and move ahead where they are ready.
Our goal is not to rush children or hold them back. Our goal is to help them make real, measurable progress.
The Jubilant Microschool may be a good fit for:
Infant and Toddler Care
Babies need more than supervision. They need consistency, affection, responsive care, and an environment that supports healthy development.
Our infant and toddler program is designed to provide a secure and nurturing beginning. Children are encouraged to explore, communicate, move, and develop at their own pace while forming trusting relationships with their caregivers.
Before-School, After-School, and Extended Care
New Orleans families work many different schedules. Childcare should not only serve families whose workday ends at 5:00 p.m.
Our extended-care options are designed to give working parents dependable support while providing children with a safe and structured environment.
Availability may vary by age and enrollment. Contact us to discuss your family’s schedule.
Academic Support and Enrichment
Children sometimes need more practice, another explanation, or simply someone with the patience to sit beside them.
Our enrichment opportunities may include:

Our Approach to Learning
Our Approach
We understand that a child may be strong in one area and need support in another. That is why we look beyond age or grade level and pay attention to what each child can actually do.
Our teachers use observation, classroom activities, informal assessments, and communication with families to understand each student’s needs.
From there, we create opportunities for children to:
At Jubilant, progress matters more than comparison.
Our Faith and Values
Jubilant Academy welcomes families from different backgrounds.
Our work is guided by Christian principles such as love, honesty, patience, compassion, respect, responsibility, and service. We want children to understand that education is not only about what they know—it is also about who they are becoming.
We teach children to respect themselves, care about others, make responsible choices, and use their gifts for a meaningful purpose.
A Partnership With Parents
You know your child better than anyone.
We want to hear about your child’s personality, strengths, challenges, interests, and previous school experiences. When concerns arise, we believe in addressing them honestly and working toward solutions together.
We will communicate with you, but we will also need your participation. Strong attendance, consistent routines, communication, and reinforcement at home all make a difference.
We may not have every answer on the first day, but we promise to listen, pay attention, and keep working toward what is best for your child.
Choosing a school is personal. A beautiful website cannot tell you everything you need to know.
Come inside. Meet us. Ask questions. Tell us what your child needs and allow us to explain honestly how we may be able to help.
