3 - 5 Years Old

Preschool is a unique time in a child’s life. They’re reaching major milestones and becoming more independent as they define who they are. At Learning Tree Academy, we have designed an age-appropriate curriculum to encourage independence and a love for learning. 

The preschool classrooms are a major stepping stone to kindergarten, and our teachers focus on preparing students for that learning environment. The children not only work on their academic curriculum, but they also focus on their self-reliance skills, reading and math readiness skills, and listening and speaking skills.

Pre-K3:
A Day in the Life

In this classroom, our teachers help the children build foundational skills that will prepare them for structured learning. Each day begins with Circle Time, where the group discusses the weather, the calendar, and daily activities. These conversations are structured to encourage their early language development, understanding, and listening skills. 

Throughout the day, they participate in intentional activities that our teachers created in order to work on:

  • Early letter and number recognition
  • Listening and following simple, multi-step directions
  • Fine motor development through art, writing tools, and hands-on activities
  • Social skills like sharing, cooperation, and turn-taking
  • Expressing ideas and emotions through language and imaginative play

Pre-K4: The Stepping Stone into Kindergarten

Our Pre-K4 class is the major stepping stone to Kindergarten. The classroom follows The Creative Curriculum®, a nationally recognized, research-based curriculum that prepares the children for the learning ahead. With this program, the focus is on the whole child, not just one aspect, fostering:

  • Early literacy and language development
  • Mathematical thinking and problem solving
  • Social-emotional growth and self-confidence
  • Physical development and fine motor skills
  • Creativity, exploration, and independent thinking

Stay Connected with the Progress Reports & the Procare App

In our preschool classrooms, teachers will start using our specifically designed progress reports to track each child’s development. These reports are essential to our teachers as they help them identify your child’s strengths and areas for growth, allowing them to set goals tailored to your child’s needs. Teachers will share these reports with you twice a year at the end of each semester so you can see the progress your child is making. 

You will also continue to receive daily updates through the Procare App. This app allows us to share updates on your child’s daily activities, moods, and more, as well as let you view billing statements and tuition communication.

Note: This app is compatible with Apple and Android phones.

"My son is almost 4 and he really loves his school. The staff is very friendly and super easy to communicate with. My son is extremely attached and he runs into the school when I drop him off. He has thrived under their care and I really appreciate all they have done."
