Early Learners Children's Academy

From the Director:

The first five years of life is the critical period where the foundation that supports a child all the way into adulthood is created. Preschool standards help children develop the preliteracy and prenumeracy skills they need to enter kindergarten. Toddlers (24-36 Months) In the toddler�s classes, we begin by introducing the children to a preschool and its setting. We show the children how to handle a book, sing the alphabet and introduce other songs and finger plays, count, work on age appropriate Art and Science projects. Pre-K I (36-48 Months) Three year olds are active learners who learn by doing, exploring, thinking about, playing and hands on. We focus on teacher directed instruction to help the children be the active learners they crave to be. Three year olds begin to recognize letters and letter sounds, numbers and their own name. We incorporate as much hands on as possible with sorting objects, measuring, creating shapes while focusing on their age appropriate curriculum. Pre-K II (+48 Months) Our four year olds are one step away from entering Kindergarten. At this age, we continue to encourage the children by taking learning one step further. Not only recognizing letters and letter sounds, numbers and quantities, recognizing their name and writing their name, but also telling time and challenging them with the age appropriate curriculum. In this class we also introduce the children to homework in preparation for Kindergarten. (excerpted from website)

We believe that all children can learn and grow in a nurturing, caring, and safe environment that allows them to make meaningful choices and encourages them to become active learners. Parents are the first and primary educators of their children. Our staff is trained and qualified to supplement your child's growth in learning. Believing that children are influenced within a home, community, and social environment, we believe that all programming for a child, whether full or part day, should support a child's development and provide a safe and healthy play and learning space.
