About Mrs. Stevens and the Heart of SCA

 

Mrs. Quatia Stevens is the Founder and Director of SCA and has owned and operated the center for 20 years. She is a wife and the mother of five children, and she has also homeschooled all of her children. That combination, director, parent, and educator, shapes how SCA approaches families: with both expertise and empathy.

 

SCA was founded to fill a serious gap. At the time, there were very few affordable, high-quality academic supports available to children in urban communities—especially for families who were working hard but did not have access to the resources, information, or guidance needed to help their children thrive. Mrs. Stevens has seen, up close, how children can be mislabeled or overlooked when what they truly need is targeted instruction, patience, and the right strategy. She has also experienced firsthand what it feels like to want the best for your child but not feel fully supported or equipped. Because of that, SCA’s mission has always been bigger than tutoring.

 

We exist to be part of the solution.Mrs. Stevens believes deeply that children are capable, regardless of background, setbacks, or labels. She is passionate about helping students develop the skills and confidence to succeed—and she takes pride in the moment a child realizes, “I can do this.” She also wants parents to feel safe, supported, heard, and understood. SCA is intentionally built to be a hub for families who are “fighting the good fight”, families who care, who are trying, and who deserve a trustworthy partner.

 

SCA is a small center, but it is run with high standards. Mrs. Stevens expects professionalism, clear communication, and follow-through because the community deserves excellence. She is hands-on and deeply invested in SCA’s reputation and relationships.  "The work we do matters, and how we represent ourselves matters."   SCA is a mission-driven organization with a track record of helping children grow, a team of dedicated educators, and a heart for families. We are professional, we are intentional, we are affordable, and we are deeply committed to the children and families we serve.
