Childcare for Centennial Hills Families
From Centennial Hills Park to Skye Canyon, here is a straightforward look at the drive to Martlet Academy from the northwest valley.
Childcare Centennial Hills Families Can Count On
The northwest corner of the valley has grown quickly, with Centennial Hills Park, Skye Canyon, and a lot of young families. Martlet Academy sits at 6940 Edna Ave, so for most Centennial Hills addresses the drive is a real one, and we think you deserve to hear that up front.
Centennial Hills families who choose us usually commute south toward Summerlin, Spring Valley, or the Strip corridor for work, which makes drop-off fit into an existing route. What they get in return is one consistent campus, one director, and one teaching team across every classroom.
If you work in the northwest, a nearer center will probably save you time every day, and there is no shame in that. We would rather you pick the arrangement that works for your real week than feel misled by a map.
Our five classrooms, Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kinder Prep, and After School, are each built around a specific developmental stage rather than one curriculum stretched across every age. A six-week-old and a five-year-old headed to kindergarten are in genuinely different spaces with teachers and activities built for that exact stage.
We're open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, hours built around real working schedules and longer commutes, not a short local drop-off.
Try the route at your actual drop-off time, then come tour. Between the two, you will know quickly whether it fits.
Why Centennial Hills Families Choose Martlet Academy
A few of the standards we hold ourselves to, and why they matter to your family.
One Consistent Standard
Every classroom follows the same Nevada-licensed standards and play-based philosophy, so the drive buys real consistency, not just a name on a building.
Nevada Licensed
We operate under a Nevada childcare license, meeting state standards for staff-to-child ratios, facility safety, and required staff training.
A Director Who Knows Your Family
As a small, independently owned program with smaller group sizes, our director and teaching team genuinely know families, including those who drive in from Centennial Hills.
Real-Time Updates From Anywhere
The Brightwheel app keeps you connected with daily updates, routines, and photos throughout the day, no matter how far away your workday takes you.
Hours Built for Commuters
We open at 6:30 AM and close at 6:00 PM on weekdays, with Saturday hours too, so a longer drive doesn't collide with a tight pickup window.
Room to Grow With Us

Learn more →The Drive from Centennial Hills
From most Centennial Hills addresses, the drive to 6940 Edna Ave typically runs around twenty to thirty minutes outside of peak traffic, often via the I-215 Beltway heading south and west.
Weekday mornings can stretch that, so it is worth testing the drive at the time you would really be doing it.
Families who make it work often drop off on the way to a job in Summerlin, Spring Valley, or the Strip corridor, so the trip becomes part of the commute.
For a more exact estimate from your street, call us. We talk with families from across the valley and will give you a grounded answer.
