🌼Play. Learn. Grow.

ASTAN INC Learning Academy is more than just a child care center—it’s a movement rooted in purpose, passion, and progress. Founded in east Tulsa, an underserved area known as a childcare desert, ASTAN INC Learning Academy was built to nurture children from birth through school-age with intentional, high-quality care, literacy-focused learning, and deep community connection.

We are committed to reshaping early childhood education through safe, inclusive, and engaging classrooms, highly qualified teachers, and a curriculum where literacy leads the way—our official tagline.

​

What ASTAN Means

The name ASTAN is a blend of legacy and leadership—it represents the vision of founders whose passion for education, children, and economic empowerment inspired the academy’s creation. The name itself is a combination of their children's names—a reflection of unity, partnership, and purpose.

But more than a name, ASTAN symbolizes:

• A pathway to early learning equity

• Support for working families in east Tulsa

• Teaching through love, structure, and literacy

• A nurturing environment where children feel safe to grow, explore, and belong
