Surprise Visit from the Easter Bunny!!!

What a pleasant surprise when the Easter Bunny came to give all the Academy students Easter suckers. Everyone loved hopping around with the bunny. He got a lot of laughs when he showed the kids how he wiggled his tail! Some didn't like the bunny very much and hit under our tables. But with a little teacher encouragement, they came out of hiding to meet the very nice bunny! :) We hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter!

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”!
