In a laid back, nurturing environment we encourage the children to work hard and to be proud of each tiny milestone. We take pride in being kind, loving friends and we always acknowledge good manners and great helpers. We treat each child as an individual, and we work with them on strengthening the skills necessary to make each child a success in his/her own right. Our goal is to make each child’s first experience with school one that’s full of love, laughter and an enthusiasm for learning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21dd476b54b2487dbca2f1/1596214202652-RBVABM5APAJJXOMA4AP8/4B463AA9-903A-4AF5-B125-4A82CB462E0F.jpeg Home - Preschool classes Our school’s hours are from 9:00-1:00 Monday through Friday.

Each child works with a teacher, one-on-one on work that is specifically picked for them so that they feel challenged, and successful each day. They practice writing letters and numbers as well as hands on activities to teach letter sounds, reading, counting and adding. Each child goes to kindergarten well prepared for the year ahead with the confidence and enthusiasm to work hard and try new things! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21dd476b54b2487dbca2f1/1596232355132-F7VQCPF6IPT41JDJUFYM/76DCF6F2-412A-4982-AD05-1DCECD5C6596.jpeg About our program - Play The children spend a good portion of their day at school playing and socializing. We have structured activities set up each day for the children to choose from, but they are free to explore and play with whatever they'd like. We encourage them to make independent decisions, be kind friends, work as a team, and clean up after themselves. The children at ACDS become amazing helpers to their teachers and friends and learn the value of being respectful and kind to those around them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21dd476b54b2487dbca2f1/1596232425293-Y4TS4BHJUXBMCSJFNS9V/B0AEE8DD-4DAF-4D39-8B66-BCB0F2AFAB64.jpeg About our program - Create We pride ourselves on our creativity! We have an amazing teacher directed, child-made art project on the agenda each day that the children LOVE to do. We also offer endless opportunities for the children to independently paint, color, cut, and get creative. We give each child a basic knowledge of drawing, painting, and doing collage work and inspire them to make unique, individual works of art. We truly get to watch little artists bloom! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21dd476b54b2487dbca2f1/1596232534851-950RFFXJD6J3MHKCFH1Z/5BA7A337-C6CE-4EF0-88C3-155081F97200.jpeg About our program - Outside time At ACDS we love outside time. We try to get the children outside every day, unless the weather prevents it. We WILL bundle up a class of 20 children in snowsuits to get even ten minutes of fresh air. Our playground is enormous. There is plenty of room for everyone to run, swing, slide, ride bikes, play Frisbee, sled and build snowmen. The yard is completely fenced in and is a preschooler’s dream come true! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21dd476b54b2487dbca2f1/1596232594205-A7FDNJZ755RZVA3DH7HK/8BCD663B-5ED7-4DC2-B39C-D27B6D2236D2.jpeg About our program - Curriculum We design our own curriculum based on classroom curiosity. We usually work on a theme for a week or two with a month-long unit in the Spring. We learn about a ‘letter of the week” each week and discuss our theme and letter at circle time each day along with reading stories and singing songs pertaining to our theme. We practice writing the letter of the week, learn about the letter sounds and we create an art project each day that corresponds with the curriculum. The children have a good balance of free play and structured learning time with endless opportunities to independently explore, create, experiment, and just have fun.
