Early Learning for Future Success


Franklin Cub Academy is a quality preschool in Franklin, Indiana. We are currently located in three buildings and operated by Franklin Community Schools, and are looking forward to moving into our new building in the fall of 2026.

Indiana’s Early Learning Standards are a developmental continuum and align with the Indiana Academic Standards. The standards provide core elements that children should achieve from birth to age five to be ready for future success.

The standards set forth common language and expectations for all staff working in early care and education. In 2023, the standards were revised based on research, feedback from practitioners, and work from professionals with expertise in each specialized area and formally adopted by the State Board of Education.
