Program Schedule & Themes

Social & Emotional Development

Pre-K students at the Academy learn the importance and skills of group cooperation in an environment that builds self-esteem, confidence and respect for others. They also focus on language literacy and self-expression, including activities and tasks that help with the development and recognition of their own identity.

Intellectual Development

The Academy’s Pre-K class begins a child’s journey into the world of academics by introducing upper and lower case letters, numbers and basic writing skills. Every skill is introduced and practiced with activities and games that support the ‘whole child’ philosophy of the school. Students are also introduced to the concept of problem solving across all areas of learning, from math and science, to storytelling and art.

Physical Development

Physical Development - fine motor skills are encouraged in the Pre-K classroom with our indoor learning centers, outdoor play area and through our Physical Education program. Children are provided with a wide array of games and activities to help develop their motor skills, while simultaneously working to nurture their social and intellectual growth. The program is individualized to meet the needs of all students, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate in all activities.

CKC Program & After School

The Academy addresses CKC Program Before and After School program needs of older, school-aged children with our customized Constructive Kids Club.

Transportation is provided by the public school district to and from the Academy and the child’s school. We begin by providing a secure and nurturing environment where children can enjoy their before- or after-school hours with our highly trained and specialized staff of licensed teachers and other children interested in a fun, learning-oriented environment.

Students in the program will work together with their teachers to “construct” their own daily schedule and routine of activities through problem-solving, brainstorming, creative thinking, and group cooperation.

Program Requirements: Children must be in a Kindergarten, First, Second or Third Grade school program. Transportation to and from the academy is provided through the public school district.

Class Times: 7:00am until school start; 3:00 – 6:00pm, Monday through Friday.

Our Advantages

Program Schedule & Themes

  • Before-school Program Children in the morning program will be provided with time and space to complete any last minute homework assignments, or allowed to enjoy creative free play in our age-appropriate themed centers. They will then be safely transported to school buses when it is time to leave for their school day.

  • After-school Program After being safely transported from the school bus to the Academy, students will be provided with a healthy snack and time in our new outdoor playground to release their energy from a day in school. Time in our playground will be permitted, as well as offering group activities to encourage team-building and cooperation.
  • Homework & Reading Since most children will have homework and reading requirements, the Academy’s program first focuses on the educational needs of the student group. Certified teachers will be available for homework help each day during the allotted homework block, and reading will be emphasized and encouraged with both student’s books and items from the Academy’s own libraries.
  • Structured Activities While students in the Program will have the opportunity to construct their own desired schedule and activities, it is the Academy’s view that placing structure and education around these chosen activities is the best way to encourage learning in a fun and child-directed environment. Activities will include age-appropriate instruction from our standard specialty programs such as nutrition, fine arts, music, poetry, yoga and dance, as well as activities designed for older groups such as writing workshops, journaling and creative expression.
  • Your child is our focus. As with all of our programs, at the Academy, your child is our focus. We want your child to have fun and learn in a safe and nurturing environment. Our programs are customized and adaptable to the needs of the students and the group, and we will always work with you and your child to ensure that everyone’s experience at the Academy is positive and enjoyable.
