Our Special Guest

We were so grateful to have Mrs Lili Porras & her sons come speak with the kids about Mexican culture. Their family has just returned from Mexico a few days ago so her sweet boys were so excited to share their experiences. All 3 of them spent about an hour with our Academy kids. They read a few books in both Spanish & English, they talked about clothing, musical instruments & much more. A huge thank you to the Porras family for taking time to visit us!

KINDERGARTEN BOOT CAMP: AN ACADEMY EXCLUSIVE

The Academy is recognized by the community for our kindergarten specific programs including our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten Boot Camp. Our Pre-K program includes hands-on explorations that create new learning connections in language, math, science, social, emotional and physical development. Children investigate “Big Ideas” and are actively involved in seeking answers to their own questions. Intentional daily plans cover a specific range of guidelines that prepare our children to meet and exceed kindergarten readiness standards for both public and private schools. Kindergarten Boot Camp, offered exclusively by Never Grow Up, is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as remembering a lunch number, carrying a lunch tray or returning a library book are examples of how we “train” our Academy kids to “be all they can be”!
