Sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, and Kindergarten—these are easily some of the biggest milestones we reach together with our babies. Unlike the milestones that happen on their own schedule, Kindergarten comes whether or not you and your kiddo are ready. How do you know if your child is ready for Kinder, and how do you help him/her get ready?
Every parent wants to make sure they’re giving their child each and every advantage and opportunity available, and early childhood education that instills a love of learning and a wide variety of experiences, is key. Starting with a solid early childhood program means that when it’s time for more formal education, like entering Kindergarten, they’re ready to go.
A great preschool program should include:
- Varied and age-appropriate curriculum and learning experiences
- A safe and secure environment—not only in the physical building, but also in how it “feels”
- A program that includes physical fitness (both indoor and outdoor “big body” play activities)
- Offering and encouraging healthy food selections
- Extracurricular learning opportunities
- Strong and frequent communication with families
La Petite Academy® offers all of that and more. La Petite Academy is a place where your child will discover respect, collaboration, and a love of learning: skills that will help them transition to “big” school and set a foundation for being a well-rounded community member. In a nurturing, interactive environment, little innovators will find themselves inspired. At La Petite Academy, innovation starts early through STEM learning: science, technology, engineering, and math.
The warm, caring, and dedicated team at La Petite Academy works hard to ensure children are prepared for elementary school and future academic success. Their teachers utilize a research-based curriculum and an exclusive digital lesson planning tool to customize learning experiences based on the needs of each child. This means no two lesson plans are the same—because no two children are the same.
The staff members at La Petite Academy see themselves as committed partners to busy, working parents and feature flexible offerings such as full- and part-time enrollment options for infants through school-age students, giving you the opportunity to start introducing your child to a school environment from the beginning and ensuring that you’ll have choices in frequency and duration as life changes. Plus, they’re dedicated to the complete well-being of your growing child through healthy food choices and physical activity. The best part? You won’t miss a single moment. The brightwheel mobile app for parents gives you regular updates of your child’s day, including photos and videos.
