Our theme based, age appropriate curriculum in combination with our uniquely designed learning centers enable your child to master “Core Components” needed for early development. The Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy curriculum provides teachers with themes and sample lesson plans. According to NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), a child has five core components of development: socio-emotional, language, cognitive, physical, and aesthetic. For the youngest children (infants and one-year-olds), these learners at Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy are well on their way to a lifetime of learning with our Infant-Toddler Program. Infants, as young as six weeks old, are immersed with stimulating, hands-on play. Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy is a safe place filled with love, growth, and discovery. Each activity is designed to assist your child in achieving those important developmental milestones, while having fun at the same time. For our preschoolers, ages 2 - 4, Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy offers a core curriculum comprised of weekly units that support and extend monthly themes. Each unit is filled with activities designed to meet the needs of all types of learners. Daily group times and enrichments are designed to expand a child’s vocabulary and knowledge of the world around them. Various activities at each learning station support the theme based lesson. Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy also enriches its curriculum through music, which is professionally written and recorded to reinforce concepts. In addition to the core units, supplemental units are provided including Spanish enrichment. Weekly lesson plans are posted to keep parents informed about their child’s learning experience at Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy. Children attending kindergarten through fifth grade benefit from a variety of curriculum materials written especially for after school hours, holiday breaks and summer camp. Each month, idea calendars, with relevant daily activities, are provided. These calendars encourage children to initiate activities with the support of the teacher. They are designed to be open-ended to inspire children to use their creativity while exploring the topic. During school breaks, weeklong, theme-based units are supplied. These include group time topics, art activities, and suggestions to enrich classroom zones. Time spent in the Nova, Media, Discovery, Construction, and Open Air Zones provide children with the opportunity to explore themes in a wide variety of ways. Each summer, campers participate in a ten-week super summer adventure. Children involved in the Kids ‘R’ Kids Summer Program have the opportunity to take a virtual vacation to many fascinating places while learning fun facts and interesting information about our country and the world. By providing an educational environment, Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy is able to implement learning objectives supported by national teacher organizations. By creating a warm, loving atmosphere, Kids ‘R’ Kids Academy is able to support learning in a safe setting, inspiring children to become life-long learners. Top
