Academics
Our center has developed a curriculum that is a mixture of traditional and whole language. Our teachers are committed to developing strong phonics and reading skills, as well as successful writing skills and pencil control.
Creative Play And Drama
At Candyland Academy , we encourage our children to be creative. We provide a stimulating environment through the exploration of free play and a variety of hands-on learning centers such as blocks, dramatic play, puppet theater, puzzles, water, sand, and educating manipulative toys.
Science
Here at Candyland Academy , children can uncover the concept of science. By constructing rather than instructing, they learn about the earth, solar system, air, water, weather, growing bodies, matter, and energy. Children will discover the world of math through activities such as sorting, comparing, and sequence. Teachers encourage children to participate in "show and tell" to develop public speaking and strong self-confidence. Your children will develop the readiness skills that will help prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Expressive Movement
Candyland Academy's playground encourages the children's large gross motor development in a number of ways. The children enjoy fitness through playing on our specially designed equipment.
All of our equipment is safe and approved by the state. Throughout the year, children will enjoy a variety of outdoor activities that will stimulate physical motor development.
Security & Safety
Our security and safety system offers peace of mind to families. Here at Candyland Academy , the security and safety of your child is of the utmost importance. The children are only released to parents and those individuals listed on the child's pick-up authorization form.
All classrooms have observation windows. We are a state-licensed preschool that strongly believes in rigid enforcement of state agency regulations, and in many instances we hold even higher, more stringent standards. For security purpose, we have installed a security camera system for the classrooms and outside perimeter. All families have their own personal key code to allow parents to enter on their own during school hours. This gives parents and staff an additional sense of security. We are committed to giving the very best to our families.
Before and After School
We serve James Madison, Martin Luther King, and John Adams* before and after school.
