Junior
Kindergarten Preschool
Program
Early
learning research shows that we have greatly underestimated what young children
can and should be learning. Small children are curious, and they are born
with a desire to learn.
Academics - We have a
comprehensive curriculum, A BEKA, that
builds both strong character and academic excellence. As you follow
your child's progress through the year, you will be thrilled to see your
child learn the basics in reading, writing, and numbers. We also
teach patriotism and the true meaning of holidays such as Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter.
Extended Care - We offer the
convenience of quality care from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., so that your
child remains cared for in a safe, nurturing environment when the academic
day is completed.
Computers - Springfield Academy has
a twelve station computer lab and Spring 'N' Dale has computers in their
classroom to help children develop skills in technology and to enhance
their education.
