Accelerated Pre K (4yr going into Kindergarten)
AN OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENT TO OUR EXISTING PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
Milestone Academy offers an enhancement to our existing Preschool Program. Accelerated Pre K is designed for children that are 4 years old and going into kindergarten the following school year.
This program takes place September through May from 9:15 AM to 11:15 AM and includes a small group, structured, theme based, instructional approach for Kindergarten readiness.
The Accelerated Pre K curriculum is designed to teach all the basics: reading, math and science. Lesson plans include phonics awareness, sight words, number concepts, cause and effect, and much more.
Our Accelerated Pre K classroom is built for adventurers.
As children begin Accelerated Pre K their wonder and curiosity peak. As such, we offer a variety of reading material and toys, and be sure to put their art on display at eye level. During this phase in their education, we also continue the concept of team-building and working together. Providing a safe place for your child and giving you peace of mind is important.
Milestone Academy will always prioritize the safety of the children we care for first and foremost.
Providing an ever-growing circle of acceptance is also important. We create an inviting classroom that promotes support and acceptance for all children, regardless of their background or abilities. Our classrooms are a place where children can be proud to be themselves.
Life Essentials
Preparing your preschooler for the future
We’ve set up our preschool classroom with activities and displays that will keep their curious minds and bodies busy. All of the learning activities and materials cater to their age and level of development.
Open-Ended Questions
As your preschooler moves through their day, they’ll hear a lot of open-ended questions. For example, instead of saying, “Paint your flower petals with red and yellow,” we might ask, “What color would you paint your flower?” It’s a small change that makes a big difference in building your child’s confidence.
Preschoolers play their way
Our older preschoolers begin to form their own ideas and make choices regarding the games they like to play and things they want to create. Our classrooms will include science experiments, art, and play pretend so the kids can create, play, pretend, and express themselves their way. We’ll help them build the skills they need as they prepare for kindergarten. This kind of independent play builds critical thinking skills, self-reliance, and confidence for life.
