Are you concerned that your child is growing up too quickly? There once was a time when you could still hold them in your arms; now they are asking seemingly endless questions about everything under the sun. As a parent, you know that the years leading up to being eligible for kindergarten will probably hold some of the best memories for you and your child. During these critical years of development, children have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and exploration\u2014especially during the years leading up to their eligibility for kindergarten.<\/span><\/p>

\ud83e\udde9 A Curriculum Built for Curious Minds<\/span><\/h2>

A four-year-old child is learning many things; some children are learning the ABC’s, some children are learning how to sit still. At Stonebridge Academy we believe that four-year-olds need to spark a flame of curiosity inside!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The curriculum used at Stonebridge Academy is designed for kids in <\/span>Pre-Kindergarten<\/b><\/a> and is not considered “for babies” or boring “lecture.” At Stonebridge Academy we use the \u201cLearning Through Play\u201d Methodology.<\/span><\/p>

When you see a child building a castle with blocks you might think that it is just play, but our teachers see geometry (shapes), physics (balance) and social skills (sharing). When we set up a pretend grocery store, children can learn math (money), literacy (reading labels), and communication all while pretending! We want to make sure to take care of the entire child, we focus on the child\u2019s brain, body, and heart!<\/span><\/p>
