Preschool at Cook's Academy gives your child the opportunity to meet individual goals, enhance social skills, and most importantly prepare them for a successful start to Elementary School. Each classroom offered at Cook's Academy is based on a child's individual development. Ages listed are approximate and our goal is to provide your child with the appropriate classroom environment for his/her abilities. We strive to meet the expectations of the most highly regarded private Elementary schools in the area and prepare your child for whatever school experiences she will encounter after leaving Cook's Academy.


Academy I

 

Approximate age group:  2 1/2–3 1/2 years

Programs offered:  

full days up to 20, 27, 45 or 55 hours/week;

 

2, 3 or 5 half days - 9am - 12pm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Academy I begins the preschool progression, concentrating on helping your child build intellectual, social, physical and emotional skills. Academy I is flexible with children's interests while preparing them for a more structured Academy II program. A large focus is placed on developing social skills such as sharing, teamwork, problem solving, and cooperation.  This is integrated with beginning language, science, math and of course potty training, just to name a few. This classroom prepares your child for their first learning experiences and helps to set expectations for their schooling careers.

 

 

Academy II

Programs offered:  

full days up to 20, 27, 45 or 55 hours/week;

In Academy II the children continue to have opportunities to discover themselves as individuals and as members of a family and community.  Offering a good balance between academic and play-based activities, we encourage independence and creativity. Centers stimulate interest in reading, writing, science, art, and math.  Group and individual teacher instruction is also an essential part of the curriculum. As each theme progresses, math concepts, language experiences, and science principles are a large focus.  

 

Senior Academy

 

Approximate age group:  4–5 years

Programs offered:  
full days up to 20, 27, 45 or 55 hours/week;

As we prepare your child for their future, Senior Academy strives to be a well-rounded pre-K program. We incorporate a curriculum that will prepare your child for the best public or private schools in the area. While placing a great focus on the academic skills, we continue to maintain a developmentally appropriate early childhood environment.  With the use of classroom instruction, peer learning, and off site field trips, we focus on subjects such as writing, phonetic language, vocabulary, social studies, introductory math, hands on experimental science, and character education.
