Our Classrooms
Discover our spacious and engaging early childhood education classrooms at Highlands Academy designed for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years old, offering a full-day, 5 day per week program with options for infants, toddlers, early preschool, preschool, and pre-k.
INFANT
Infant care classrooms serve children ages 6 weeks up to 18 months. There are ten babies enrolled in each classroom with three Infant Nursery Supervisor (INS) teachers. These infant care classrooms enroll starting in September and begin to transition into the toddler rooms the following summer allowing the children to connect with the teachers and fellow students.
TODDLERS
Our toddler childcare classrooms serve children ages 12 months to 36 months. In these classrooms, children begin to learn routine and the schedule becomes a bit more structured. Toddler classrooms have large and small group activities where social and academic skills are introduced. Fine motor muscles are developing and being strengthened, and language development is a large focus for this age group. Toilet learning is introduced in these early childcare education classrooms as the teachers partner with families when the time is right.
EARLY PRESCHOOL
Early Preschool is a transitional childcare classroom for children older than 30 months. This classroom has 16 children and 3 teachers. These classrooms enroll starting in September and begin to transition into the Preschool rooms the following summer allowing the children to connect with the teachers and fellow students.
PRESCHOOL
Preschool classrooms serve children from 3-6 years of age. These classrooms have a more social focused program while giving opportunities for academic learning embedded in play. These early childcare education classrooms have up to 20 children and 3 teachers. Reading, writing and arithmetic are integrated in the play-based experiences. Our teachers work to make sure that your child is prepared to be successful in the transition to Pre-K and Kindergarten.
PRE-K
Our Pre-K program is designed for Kindergarten readiness, culminating your child’s journey with us. Teachers curate themes based on student interests, using ongoing assessment to provide individualized support. We focus on advanced literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills.

This program truly prepares children for future academic success.
