The transition from infancy to preschool is a profound era of growth and discovery. At Highlands Academy, we provide a seamless, nurturing pathway designed to support every developmental milestone. From your baby’s first crawl to your local preschooler’s first written words, our integrated curriculum ensures your child thrives at every stage of their early childhood education.
Nurturing Beginnings in Our Infant Classrooms
Our infant program focuses on responsive caregiving and building secure attachments. With a 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio, our educators prioritize your baby’s unique routine while introducing sensory exploration and baby sign language. We create a safe, stimulating environment where infants aged six weeks and up begin their lifelong journey of learning, discovery, and social-emotional development.
Active Discovery and Language in Toddlerhood
As children transition into our toddler classrooms, the focus shifts toward active exploration and vocabulary expansion. We introduce structured routines that balance play with early literacy and social skills. Our teachers partner with families during the pivotal toilet-learning phase, ensuring a consistent and supportive experience. Toddlers at Highlands Academy thrive through hands-on art, music, and movement.
Building Independence in Early Preschool
In Early Preschool, children aged two to three begin to master independence and interpersonal confidence. Our child-led curriculum encourages students to make choices and engage in collaborative play. This transitional stage introduces pre-academic concepts—like letter recognition and math reasoning—embedded within play-based activities. It is here that children truly begin to find their unique voice and social footing.
Mastering Kindergarten Readiness in Pre-K
The journey culminates in our Pre-K program, which is specifically designed with Kindergarten readiness in mind. We utilize authentic assessments to tailor challenges to each child’s needs, focusing on advanced literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. By the time our students graduate, they are not only academically prepared but are also confident, curious, and socially ready for elementary school.
Highlands Academy offers more than just childcare; we provide a vibrant community where children are empowered to reach their full potential. Our all-inclusive program and dedicated educators ensure your family is supported every step of the way.
