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 receives individual attention focusing on his or her own rate of achievement. 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 visits the library each week and receives computer and Spanish instruction. 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. A well-equipped playground and gymnasium are available on rainy or colder days. Field trips to a pumpkin farm, fire station or zoo are likely possibilities during the school year.
We teach our pre-kindergarten children the fundamentals for success to prepare them for the years to come.
