The Pre-K Program at Academy Childcare
Ages 4 - 5 Years
Preparing Confident Learners for Kindergarten
The year before kindergarten is an exciting time filled with growth, confidence, and discovery. Our Pre-Kindergarten Program helps children build the academic, social, and problem-solving skills they’ll need for a successful transition to elementary school.
Through engaging classroom experiences, hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and meaningful play, children strengthen early literacy, math, science, and critical thinking skills while continuing to develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning.
With experienced teachers, engaging classrooms, and opportunities to explore both indoors and outdoors, every day prepares children for the exciting journey ahead.
Preparing confident, capable learners for kindergarten.
Designed For Discovery
Our Pre-K classrooms are thoughtfully designed to encourage curiosity, independence, and deeper learning. Dedicated learning centers allow children to investigate, create, build, and collaborate while practicing the skills they’ll use in kindergarten and beyond.
Throughout the day, children enjoy experiences such as:
- Early literacy and writing
- STEM discovery activities
- Science investigations
- Creative art projects
- Dramatic play
- Math exploration
- Cooperative learning
- Music and movement
Learning extends beyond the classroom as children enjoy our dedicated playground, explore our beautiful 8-acre campus, and stay active in our spacious indoor gym throughout every season.
Learning Through Everyday Experiences
Ready for Kindergarten
Our Pre-K program focuses on helping children build the confidence and independence they’ll need for their next big step.
Throughout the year, children practice many of the routines and skills they’ll experience in kindergarten, including following multi-step directions, working independently and in small groups, solving problems, communicating their ideas, and developing responsibility for classroom materials and daily routines.
By the end of the year, children leave Academy with the academic foundation, confidence, and social-emotional skills needed for a successful transition to kindergarten.
Partnering With Families
Preparing for kindergarten is a team effort, and we believe families play an important role in every child’s success.
Throughout the year, we keep parents informed through regular communication, progress updates, and conversations about your child’s academic, social, and emotional development. Parent conferences provide opportunities to celebrate accomplishments, discuss kindergarten readiness, and work together to support continued growth.
By partnering with families, we help ensure every child feels confident, prepared, and excited for the transition to kindergarten.
