Pre-kindergarten
Amelia Academy introduces learning in an environment full of warmth, friendliness, enjoyment, interest, challenge and education. The pre-kindergarten program was established in 1986 to provide four-year-olds with an introduction to school life. We offer our students a five-day program or a three-day option. Our children become adjusted to the length of the school day with the overall objective of developing a positive attitude toward school and education.
Each child is worked with individually at his or her own rate of achievement and readiness. Cooperation, sharing, self-control and respect for others and their belongings are stressed during group and class discussions, free play, and recess. Phonics, counting, history, science, art and music are integrated into the program in a way that introduces the preschoolers to new ideas while having fun. The class goes to the library each week for a story read by the librarian. Computer and Spanish instruction also is given to pre-kindergarten students. The importance of responsibility is stressed in all activities throughout the year.
A spacious classroom with play area and restrooms is located in a separate building from the rest of the school. There is a well-equipped playground and a gymnasium that is available on rainy or colder days. Field trips to a pumpkin farm, fire station or zoo also are likely possibilities during the school year.
We teach our pre-kindergarten children the fundamental for success to prepare them for the years to come. For more information, call us at (804) 561-2270 or e-mail us at contactus@ameliaacademy.com.
