Programs -Pre-School
At this age, your child’s personality is developing at an amazing pace. The children are becoming more independent and preparing for pre-k.
At Little Tikes Academy, our teachers build upon these characteristics by allowing children to learn and develop through exploration as well as structure. Our High Reach curriculum will prepare your child for Pre-K by introducing them to learning centers that encompass a wide range of activities. Your child will be introduced to math, language, reading, social and physical skills in a manner that allows them to express their creativity and individuality. Our Preschool children also enjoy outside time on a playground that has equipment that is fun, which promotes physical as well as social development.
From the simple task of offering a nourishing lunch and snacks to providing exciting ways to learn, our teachers show children that coming to Little Tikes Academy is a wonderful experience and most importantly, that learning can be fun!
