Pre-K Programs and More

school age programs spring hill tn

The Academy of Heritage Commons in Thompson Station, TN, is one of only two Academy locations that have The Academy School Age Program (T.A.S.K.). This program provides parents who have children in both preschool and elementary school with one convenient drop-off and pick-up point for all their children.

Here is how it works:

  • Parents drop off all their children at The Academy of Heritage Commons.
  • Preschoolers go straight to their classes at The Academy.
  • Older children are taken by bus to their schools.
  • In the afternoon, The Academy picks up the older children from their schools and brings them back to the after-school program called T.A.S.K (The Academy School-age Kids).

The T.A.S.K. Program

While older children are in the T.A.S.K. after-school program, they are encouraged to do their homework, and they will receive help as needed. With an afternoon snack, healthy exercise, fun activities, and most or all of their homework completed, children are able to enjoy their time with their families when they get home. The T.A.S.K program is also available in the summer as a full day and will include two fun and educational weekly field trips.

With the summer school break just around the corner, The Academy of Heritage Commons is gearing up for their Summer Program and Kindergarten Boot Camp. The Summer Program will have weekly water days, special guests, family events, dress-up days, cooking projects, summer reading, art fair projects, and lots of nature-exploring activities.

Kindergarten Boot Camp in Spring Hill and Thompson’s Station

Kindergarten Boot Camp, an 8-week class in June and July for children in the Pre-Kindergarten 3 class, will get children ready for the real thing—including the BIG yellow bus and the cafeteria line. Pre-K-ers will learn and rehearse practical skills such as signing in to class, returning a library book, keeping up with a backpack (provided by the Academy—in camo, of course), using a homework folder, and even how to open those pesky ketchup packages at lunch. Kindergarten Boot Camp teaches important, yet often overlooked skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence.

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.
