Preschool/VPK

​

*Providing a comprehensive learning experience in a scenic and natural environment.

​

The Academy at the Farm Preschool believes that by maintaining low student to teacher ratios we are able to provide small group instruction, hands-on learning experiences, and create an individualized curriculum that improves academic achievements, strengthens values, and creates lifelong learners.  The teachers of our preschool are committed to helping each student reach his/her full academic potential.

​

Curriculum and Learning

• Our Preschool is a mixed aged environment for children ages 3 - 5.  

• Our curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate and open ended in order to meet the needs of our students.

• Each child is able to progress and learn at his/her own pace.

Mixed Age Environment

The benefits of a mixed age environment include:

• We resemble a family life (all children are able to experience being the youngest, middle, and oldest)

• Reduces pressure children feel when they are expected to master something they are not ready for

• Children remain with the same teacher for two years.  

• They are able to revisit the curriculum on a deeper, more complex level.
