Preschool: A Strong Foundation for Kindergarten and Beyond
Preschool is an exciting step in your child’s journey—where curiosity, independence, and school readiness come together. At AcademyOne, we use The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool, a nationally recognized, research-based program that combines purposeful play with hands-on investigations. This approach helps children grow across all areas of development while building the skills and confidence they need for kindergarten.
Our preschool classrooms focus on language and literacy, math, science, art, music and movement, and social-emotional learning – all introduced in fun, meaningful ways that spark creativity and discovery. Inspired by the belief that children learn in many different ways, our teachers personalize experiences to match each child’s strengths, needs, and interests.
A typical day might include shopping in our dramatic play area, building block towers, painting masterpieces, reading stories with friends, or learning a new song or dance. While children are introduced to a more structured learning environment, we balance this with plenty of time for self-directed play and exploration.
Most importantly, our caring, educated teachers foster confidence, collaboration, and a love of learning—helping every child feel proud, capable, and ready for the next big step into kindergarten.
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.
