Preschool

Preschool education is an essential step on the path to kindergarten, with hands on activities and planned cognitive learning experiences.

Our exclusive Galileo digital curriculum offers lesson plans that are generated based on each child’s developmental needs and milestones, resulting in a customized, personalized curriculum.

Inspired by Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory, we focus on the full development of each individual child and recognize how they learn different subjects in different ways, utilizing their intelligences. We have six development areas that we work on daily: Language and Literacy, Math, Science, Art, Social/Emotional and Music and Movement.

Now is the time to truly start discovering the world. What better place to start than at AcademyOne? Our exclusive curriculum was designed to encourage exploration and embrace all the different ways that children excel. Aligned with standards set forth by national accrediting associations, this curriculum helps children expand on their own unique gifts. And it works: a recent kindergarten readiness study showed that in just six months, children in our program made educational gains usually expected after a full year.

Our program provides children with the developmental and educational skills needed for a successful transition into kindergarten and beyond.

Grocery shopping in our AcademyOne Indoor play area, reading and sharing stories, building models and towers, learning a new dance – all of these are ways to reinforce concepts. And while this is the time that teachers introduce a more structured environment, we still set aside plenty of time for self-directed play and experimentation.
