Curriculum & Activities

Academy For Kids preschool program offers a variety of arts and crafts depending on the child's age and skill level. Children are allowed opportunities each day to improve both fine motor skills as well as large motor skills. During the lesson the children are encouraged to participate and verbally express their ideas and opinions. This program offers structure as well as FUN! Each month the lesson plan includes letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. The children will have a wide variety of hands-on opportunities to explore their environment, both indoors and out.

For older children, the ABeka curriculum is used. This will help to prepare them for kindergarten as they learn letter sounds and develop beginning reading skills. The older two-year olds use one workbook, "Learning Numbers with Button Bear” and the three-year olds use one workbook, "Numbers and Skills with Button Bear,” throughout the year.  The four and five year olds have four workbooks: "Writing with Phonics,” ‘ABC-123,” "ABC Writing Tablet,” and "Readiness Skills K.” They also have readers and flashcards for practice. To view these items you can go to www.abeka.com.

Children of all ages participate in Arts and Crafts and Music. Children have multiple opportunities for unstructured play, allowing them to use their imagination and develop creativity. This builds confidence as they learn to work together, share, and resolve conflicts.
Children learn in many different ways and our program presents material through a variety of modalities. Each child is encouraged to be the best he or she can be while treating others with respect.
