Proudly Serving Jackson & Jackson County Families — ABC Academy is conveniently located in Jackson, Michigan — just minutes from Vandercook Lake, Michigan Center, Spring Arbor and Parma.

"Before coming to ABC Academy, Gavin was very shy and not very outgoing. After a few weeks at ABC he is a different child, very outgoing and sociable. He has a much easier time making friends and adjusting to new situations."

"ABC Academy has treated my son as if he were their own. I am very happy with the program and would recommend them to anyone."
Ashley Gordon
Parent
"Saxton was late registering as I was not sure if he needed a year of GSRP or enroll in kindergarten. I am so thankful that Saxton was able to attend this program. He benefited from the smaller class size and is now ready to enter into kindergarten. ABC provides wonderful ideas and activities. We just love ABC Academy."
