Half-Day Preschool
Our Preschool Program
We love our community and providing local children with a quality preschool education! While our program is inspired by Montessori, it is designed to be lesson and goal-oriented.
Here, children learn through play and experiences. They’ll be engaged with hands-on experiments and planned activities. We have monthly themes, such as, “My Healthy Body” and “Animal Adaptations” that will allow students to explore each aspect of STEAM education with a fun twist. Within these themes we keep children engaged year round to improve motor skills, literacy, critical thinking, music and rhythm, and social skills.
While our curriculum is structured, it is open ended. We respect your child’s individuality and leave plenty of room for them to add in their own creativity. We want them to feel free to be colorful, expressive, and unique. We hope My Childcare Academy will be a place where they can develop their sense of self by sharing their interests and exploring new ones.
Full-Day & Part-Day Programs
Full-Day Preschool – Ages 3-4
The 1st year of preschool is an introduction to all of the subject matter learned in the 2nd year of preschool. By doing the 1st year of preschool, children are better prepared to master the skills needed to enter kindergarten. Children will learn:
- Shapes and colors
- Solid foundation of numbers 0-20
- Introduction to writing strokes and proper form
- Recognizing and writing their name
- Upper and lowercase letters and their sounds
- Independence skills
- Social Skills needed to navigate friendships
Half-Day and Full-Day Preschool – Ages 4 – 5
This is where we focus on mastering the basics as well as formal education. Children will learn to:
- Master shapes and colors
- Recognize and write upper and lowercase letters
- Comprehend basic addition and subtraction
- Learn phonics for a solid foundation to reading
- Count to 100
- Emphasis on Kindergarten Readiness skills required in Utah
Our preschool program focuses on socialization through group activities. We encourage appropriate behavior by giving children the tools they need to regulate their moods and behavior. They’ll learn empathy and to think of others as well as how to think out their conflict resolutions.
Full-Day
Our full-day preschool program is the perfect choice for working parents and children in need of extra learning opportunities. We offer this program for 3-4 and 4-5 year olds. This is an educational daycare program where children will participate in a structured curriculum to prepare them for kindergarten.
Our All Day program is a year round program, held Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:30 am – 6:00 pm. Each family is welcome to choose a schedule that works best for them. There are no extensive school breaks other than traditional holidays and teacher training days. The curriculum continues into the summer, going into subject matter that will exceed kindergarten expectations.
Half-Day
Our Half-Day program follows Hawthorn Academy’s yearly schedule and is for children ages 4-5 years. Families can expect traditional school breaks. Unlike our Full-Day Program, the Half-Day program ends in May for summer break. Half-Day is scheduled from 9:00-1:00, Monday-Friday. For questions regarding extended care before and after our scheduled times, contact us to see what availability may exist.
