Curriculum
Our preschool curriculum is designed to encourage children to become independent, self confident, and inquisitive learners through active play and multisensory learning experiences. Children are individuals who learn at their own pace.
|
 |
Your child’s program is developed to expose each child to various experiences. Our curriculum builds from year to year to provide your child with continuity during his or her years at The Academy. Concepts and skills are introduced which are appropriate to each child’s own learning priorities and pacing. Age appropriate hands-on activities are planned to provide children with meaningful learning experiences. |
For an understanding of the way our program works, it is important for children and parents to visit The Academy prior to registration.
The members of The Academy learn about language, math, science, community, holidays, music, art, and movement as they build socialization skills.
