About Us
DEL Academy is a fully licensed early learning centre, operated from a warm, home-based environment by Maryam Delghandi, serving children aged 30 months to school age. With operating hours from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
We provide a nurturing, home-like setting where children feel safe, happy, and supported while developing the academic, social, and life skills they need to thrive .
The Meaning Behind DEL
DEL means “heart” in Farsi, my first language, and it also reflects my family name. The name DEL Academy was inspired by both—a reminder that our daycare is built on love, care, and personal dedication.
Just like the heart in our logo, DEL Academy is a place where children are welcomed with warmth and guided with compassion as they grow, explore, and learn.
Our Logo
Our logo was thoughtfully designed to reflect our values and philosophy:
- The green heart with a graduation cap represents both love and learning, showing that children are nurtured with care while being prepared for school success.
- The bright, natural green symbolizes growth, freshness, and a safe environment.
- The playful font reminds us that childhood is full of joy and discovery.
- The little hearts in our tagline highlight the warmth and family-like atmosphere we strive to create, making DEL Academy truly a “Divine Early Learning Centre.”
Just like our program, the logo blends care, fun, and education — a home away from home where children can feel happy, loved, and inspired to learn.
