 Toddlers (ages 2.5 to 3 years)
In our toddler classroom the children work on colors, shapes, sizes, counting and sensory experiences. They also begin learning letters and numbers, and work on listening for the sounds in our language. Our toddlers have the opportunity to go to their own gymnastics and swimming classes which are perfect for their age and skill levels. Toddler parents can sign up for anywhere from 1 to 5 days per week of AcroKids Academy, and also have the option of extended care before school and after school if needed.
**Toddlers may be combined with preschoolers (3-4 years) depending on enrollment.**
Preschool (ages 3-4 years)
Our preschoolers are busy, busy, busy! AcroKids teachers engage the children in academics each day focusing on learning letter names, letter sounds, numbers, counting, basic math skills, and much more. The children spend time each day in large and small groups, with lots of individual attention. Our preschoolers also have the opportunity to sign up for gymnastics, swimming and karate classes to round out their athletic education as well! Preschoolers can sign up for 1 to 5 days per week of AcroKids Academy, and before and after school extended care is also available to meet the needs of our working parents.
**We prefer, however, for our preschool students to attend at least 2 days per week so that they receive all the instruction needed for their age.**
 Pre-Kindergarten (ages 4-5 years)
Pre-K students need focused academic attention to make certain they are ready for the big kindergarten year to come. Our teachers lead the children through a large group time each morning that explains the theme for the day and what skills they will be working on. The children are then broken up into smaller groups for work on phonics, math, reading, science, and social studies. During this time the children will be rotating through their classes in gymnastics, swimming, and karate based on their age and skill level in each area. Pre-Kindergarten students can sign up for 1 to 5 days per week of AcroKids Academy, and also have the option of extended care before school and after school if needed.
**We strongly encourage parents of pre-kindergarten students to enroll their child in at least 3 days per week so that our teachers will have ample time to prepare the child for kindergarten.**
