Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day from us to all of you!

We love to celebrate all the different holidays and enjoy the cultures that bring them to us! Our Preschool One class participated in a thematic photo booth to really make their day not only special, but to be a teachable moment for what the day means to us as well. Needless to say they had a BLAST and all have future modeling careers in our eyes!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Laissez les bon temps rouler (let the good times roll)! Today we learned all about Mardi Gras! The children had a blast learning about king cake and listening to traditional Mardi Gras music! They also had a chance to participate in a Mardi Gras photo booth! What fun!

KINDERGARTEN BOOT CAMP, AN ACADEMY EXCLUSIVE

The Academy is recognized by the community for our kindergarten specific programs including our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten Boot Camp. Our Pre-K program includes hands-on explorations that create new learning connections in language, math, science, social, emotional and physical development. Children investigate “Big Ideas” and are actively involved in seeking answers to their own questions. Intentional daily plans cover a specific range of guidelines that prepare our children to meet and exceed kindergarten readiness standards for both public and private schools. Kindergarten Boot Camp, offered exclusively by Never Grow Up, is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as remembering a lunch number, carrying a lunch tray or returning a library book are examples of how we “train” our Academy kids to “be all they can be”!
