Green Your Scene in 2019

Green Your Scene in 2019
By Parent Marketing Group|

At The Academy, the emphasis in March and April is “Green Your Scene.” So in March, we’ll be focusing on keeping the planet green, recycling, and reusing. We want to teach our children to be mindful of things like littering and to learn how recycling helps the environment.

Recycling at Home

At home, you can help reinforce the idea of recycling. First, explain to your child why you separate the trash and then enlist his or her assistance in putting the recyclable items in the right bin.

Reusing at Home

Additionally, you can help your children think about reusing things. When they outgrow a pair of shoes, for example, help them think of a younger friend or relative who could use the shoes. Or talk about how Goodwill or a “charity closet” reuses donated items. When you have gathered enough items, take your child with you when you go to donate.

Having Some Fun with Reusing

Here’s a simple project you can do at home with 3- and 4-year-olds. It reuses an empty water/soda bottle.

Add these things to the bottle with your child: alphabet beads (search for “alphabet beads” on Amazon), some glitter, sequins or any tiny sparkly things. Then fill half the bottle with water and the other half with light colored corn syrup. When finished, attach the top permanently using a glue gun.

Now for the fun: shake it up and watch the pretty water! Now for the learning: challenge your child to find each letter of the alphabet and write down each one found.

Helpful Answers for Families Choosing The Academy

These FAQs share clear details on enrollment, daily routines, learning programs, safety, and what to expect once your child begins at The Academy.

What ages do you accept?

The Academy offers early learning programs designed for children from infancy through Pre-K. Each classroom is built around age-appropriate routines, developmental milestones, and learning goals that support growth at every stage. Children receive the structure they need to feel secure while still having the freedom to explore and learn through play, hands-on activities, and teacher-guided instruction.

We use the Frog Street curriculum to provide consistent learning across classrooms and age groups. This curriculum supports early literacy, communication, motor development, and social-emotional skills through structured themes and purposeful activities. Our teachers follow curriculum-based lesson plans while also adapting the day to each classroom’s pace, helping children stay engaged and supported as they make meaningful progress.

Yes. Enrichment programs are included in tuition and offered throughout the week. These sessions add variety and excitement to a child’s routine by introducing creative activities, movement, cultural exploration, and age-appropriate science experiences. Enrichment helps children build confidence, discover new interests, and stay motivated by adding new learning experiences beyond the core classroom schedule.

Strong parent communication is a key part of a successful childcare experience. Families receive updates through our communication system, which may include daily reports, photos, and important notes about meals, naps, or classroom moments. Our team aims to keep families informed, reduce surprises, and create consistent support between home and school throughout the year.

Safety is a top priority at every Academy location. Our centers follow structured protocols for drop-off and pickup, classroom supervision, and daily accountability. Staff are trained to maintain safe routines and consistent classroom expectations while supporting children in a calm environment. During a tour, families can learn more about entry procedures, classroom organization, and how we prioritize safety every day.

The easiest way to schedule a tour is by submitting the tour request form on our website. Once we receive your information, a team member will follow up to confirm availability, answer initial questions, and help you choose the best program for your child’s age. Tours are a great time to explore classrooms, learn about daily routines, and better understand the Academy experience.

Before your child starts, our team will share a simple list of items based on your child’s classroom and age group. Most families bring labeled supplies such as extra clothing, diapers or pull-ups if needed, wipes, and any approved comfort items. Teachers will also guide you through routines for drop-off, communication updates, and what to expect during your child’s first few days.
