At Lake County Prep Academy we strive to provide your child with high quality early childhood education. A safe, secure, loving, prep-prepared and child centered environment, fosters the development of physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth; thus, providing the foundation for your child's future.
We aim to stimulate and preserve each child's natural curiosity, to enable the child to become a creative thinker, a life time learner, a team player and a happy confident and competent individual. He learns grace and courtesy and respect for himself for others and for his environment.
Our 30 years experience in education, our teaching skills and the implementation of our gifted curriculum, are evident from the results attained by our children who join the public system.
Currently, our children have achieved the highest rate for VPK in the County.
Our individualized program allows for each child's own individual style of learning. Each child begins his program with concrete and familiar materials and concepts and moves with ease on to the abstract and unfamiliar. He learns spontaneously through his own experiences by moving at his own pace, from basic concepts and materials to the more advance.
Programs
Infant Program
For children 6 to 24 months. Satisfying the infants needs, following all requirements and providing the stimulating environment for the child's own round development is the teacher's priority at this stage. The curriculum includes sensorial activities and senses stimulation through music, color shape, sound, texture, cause and effect , action and reaction, observation and exploration of his immediate environment including outside play, weather permitting.
Toddler program
For children 24 to 30 months.This program is designed as a gentle transition from home to school. It encourages cooperative learning, fosters a sense of community among the children and provides the toddlers increasing independence. Care for self and for the environment are stressed during lessons on practical life and daily living. Other activities include language development, sensorial stimuli and movement, gross motor experience, physical coordination, music and rhythm and exploration of their environment.
By means of closed observation and working with the child's natural flow and tendencies, we show respect for their individuality, thus encouraging their joy for learning.
Indoor and outdoor experiences, children's literature and story time are popular with this age group. Oral language development is encouraged through social interaction, as well as through songs and rhymes. Mastering of toilet training is encouraged at this stage.
Preschool Program
For children 3 to 5 years of age. Children must be toilet-trained and be mature physically and emotionally to participate.
Children enjoy learning and are attracted to the beautiful Montessori materials. They become absorbed in the study of numbers, letters and their sounds, words and their meaning and reading and writing. They enjoy music and movement, art, science, foreign language,braille and sign language.
