I’m On My Way! At Kiddie Academy five-year-olds are recognized for
their special talents and interests. The program includes guided learning
expe
riences
in language arts, math, science, social studies, creative arts and music.
Emphasis is placed on developing phonetic awareness, reading and writing skills
in an environment promoting creative expression and peer cooperation. Their
environment fosters a love of learning and prepares children for a successful
journey through their school age years and beyond.
We recognize that children frequently test limits and our caregivers minimize
restrictions unless children are in danger. We recognize that the best way to
accomplish this goal with children is through praise and positive
reinforcement. Our caregivers are skilled in redirecting a child
from inappropriate behaviors to actively engaging them in other more appropriate
behaviors.
Kiddie Academy of Greenlawn will be offering Full Day Kindergarten staring
September 2008. We also currently offer a Kindergarten Enrichment Program for children who attend Half Day
Kindergarten elsewhere. Bus transportation for the Enrichment Program is
only available for Harborfields School District students. Students from
other districts are welcome, but would need to provide their own transportation.
