Passport Learning Academy
Private Care. Independent School. Only Six Children.
Philadelphia's luxury boutique early learning academy for children ages 2–5.
Why Families Choose Passport Instead of Daycare
Most families weigh two familiar options. Passport was designed to be a third — the intimacy of private care with the richness of an independent school.

What Makes Passport Worth the Investment?
Families are not purchasing childcare. They are investing in who their child becomes — the qualities that shape a whole, capable, joyful human being.
Confidence
A quiet inner sureness — children who trust their own voice and try boldly.
Independence
The pride of doing it themselves, from pouring their own water to solving real problems.
Curiosity
A protected sense of wonder that turns each ordinary day into a question worth chasing.
Executive Functioning
Focus, planning and self-regulation — the mental habits that help children approach school with confidence.
Communication
Rich language and the ease of sharing needs, ideas, and feelings with grace.
Resilience
The gift of recovering from a stumble and returning to the work with courage.
Emotional Intelligence
Naming feelings, reading others, and moving through the world with genuine empathy.
Healthy Eating Habits
A real love of nourishing food — grown in the garden, made by their own small hands.
Water Safety
Swim instruction builds water confidence and foundational safety skills. Participation does not replace vigilant adult supervision around water.
Cultural Awareness
An early, joyful understanding that the world is wide, diverse, and theirs to explore.
School Readiness
Not only letters and numbers — the whole child, prepared to thrive and to lead.

Founder-led care
An intimate academy of only 6 children per cohort, ages 2–5. Our 2026–2027 school year runs September through May — 39 instructional weeks, with the academy closed June through August.
Childhood deserves more.
With only six explorers, every child is deeply known, intentionally guided, and given the time and real-world experiences they need to grow in mind, body, confidence, character, and curiosity.
Powered by The Taiyib Method, Passport was created for families who believe early childhood should be the beginning of a life filled with wonder and purpose.

Ms. Inas — Founder & Child Development Architect
For more than two decades, Ms. Inas has supported children and families across multiple cities, private households and educational environments, including families with exceptionally high standards for care, discretion and child development. She founded Passport Learning Academy to bring that same standard of private, world-class care to the families of Philadelphia.
“I don't run a daycare. I build the foundation of a child's whole life — one adventure, one discovery, one act of love at a time.”
