Prek Prom

It’s that bittersweet time of year! We are all so proud of our kiddos for the next stage which is Kindergarten. They sang songs for their parents, walked the stage, and received their PreK Diplomas. The night of graduation day, we continued the celebration with a beach themed PreK Prom! To top it all off we had a foam party to bring it all together.

Mad Scientist Week!

This week at the Academy is was Mad Scientist Week. This week we did serval experiments with all our friends. They were so surprised during the Skittle Experiment. We did mentos and coke eruption and our friends made a very good guess as to what would happen. The grab-n-go was a very cool petri dish(jello and nerds).

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”!

GOLD SNEAKER FACILITY

GETTING A JUMP ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY Healthy habits are instilled at a young age, with most habits being formed during adolescence. We feel it important to instill good habits at an early age, addressing behavioral factors that contribute to overweight and obesity from the beginning. The Gold Sneaker initiative was developed to enhance policy related to physical activity and nutrition within licensed child care facilities across Tennessee. Policies we've adopted include minimum requirements on physical activity, sedentary activities, breastfeeding, meal time, behaviors, portion sizes, and a tobacco-free facility. Together, we can create healthy habits for life.
