Kindergarten
Does your kiddo miss the public school Kindergarten deadline? No worries! We can take them at Love of Learning Academy.
Do you ever worry that your little one will be forgotten or pushed aside in large public school classrooms? At Love of Learning Academy, you will find small class sizes and TWO fully licensed teachers. Ms. Lilly and Ms. Brandi will be able to take the time to truly get to know each student and be able to teach them to their own academic abilities.
Ms. Brandi, whose former Kindergarten students showed spectacular reading growth, will be teaching phonics. We will be using a research based program called 95 phonics. We love this program and truly believe it sets students up for reading and writing success. We are excited to be able to provide this program to Love of Learning Academy families.
Ms. Lilly, whose former students also showed amazing academic growth, will be teaching math. Math will be taught in small groups through manipulatives, games, and workbooks. Ms. Lilly has always had a love for math and making it fun!
Something you will find in our Kindergarten classroom that may not be in your public school is PLAY!! Due to rigorous testing and requirements in public schools, there is not much time for play in the Kindergarten classroom. But at Love of Learning Academy we believe that play is an important part of learning and it will be present each day in our classroom.
Kindergarten will follow Utah State Standards to make sure students are fully prepared for 1st grade.
Pre-K
Must be 3 1/2 by the first day of school.
Our Pre-K program is designed for 4 and 5 year old's who are potty trained and fully independent in the restroom.
With Ms. Brandi and Ms. Lilly's expertise in teaching in public schools, we truly know what your student needs to be successful in Kindergarten and beyond. In our Pre-K program, students will be learning in small groups. Ms. Lilly will teach math and Ms. Brandi will be teaching phonics. When your student is not with Ms. Lilly or Ms. Brandi, they will be in other play based centers. Maybe they will be in the art center where they will practice their fine motor skills and spatial awareness. They may be found in the dramatic play center or free play center where they will work on important social skills. Or maybe they will get to have fun in the sensory bin where they will work on a variety of skills such as phonics, math, fine motor, etc.
We promise you won't find a Pre-K program like you will at Love of Learning Academy!
Early Learners
Must be 2 by the first day of school.
Our Early Learners program is designed for ages 2 and 3 year olds. We provide diapers and wipes, as well as potty training help. Snacks are also provided. This program is great for those who want their little one to have some social time with other kiddos their age, or get a jump start into learning! Each day students will have story time, music time and a guided activity where they will work on colors, shapes, numbers and letters.
