Preschool is a unique time in a child’s life. They’re reaching major milestones and becoming more independent as they define who they are. At Learning Tree Academy, we have designed an age-appropriate curriculum to encourage independence and a love for learning.
The preschool classrooms are a major stepping stone to kindergarten, and our teachers focus on preparing students for that learning environment. The children not only work on their academic curriculum, but they also focus on their self-reliance skills, reading and math readiness skills, and listening and speaking skills.
In this classroom, our teachers help the children build foundational skills that will prepare them for structured learning. Each day begins with Circle Time, where the group discusses the weather, the calendar, and daily activities. These conversations are structured to encourage their early language development, understanding, and listening skills.
Throughout the day, they participate in intentional activities that our teachers created in order to work on:
Our Pre-K4 class is the major stepping stone to Kindergarten. The classroom follows The Creative Curriculum®, a nationally recognized, research-based curriculum that prepares the children for the learning ahead. With this program, the focus is on the whole child, not just one aspect, fostering:
Our academic curriculum is a part of the Wharton Borough Public School program, and in June, the children excitedly prepare for their formal graduation. They look adorable in their caps and gowns as they process into the room to receive their diplomas during the graduation ceremony. The Pre-K4 program is challenging, fun, and rewarding, and the children love it!
In our preschool classrooms, teachers will start using our specifically designed progress reports to track each child’s development. These reports are essential to our teachers as they help them identify your child’s strengths and areas for growth, allowing them to set goals tailored to your child’s needs. Teachers will share these reports with you twice a year at the end of each semester so you can see the progress your child is making.
You will also continue to receive daily updates through the Procare App. This app allows us to share updates on your child’s daily activities, moods, and more, as well as let you view billing statements and tuition communication.
"Our daughter attended LTA for the Wharton Pre K program and it was a wonderful experience. From the dedicated teachers and staff that cared for our daughter with kindness and patience, to the nutritious food that was catered daily, I can't say enough great things about our positive experience. We recommend LTA to any parent looking for daycare or Pre K school!"
"A shout out to all LTA teachers and especially Ms Candice in Pre K Eagles! She is wonderful with them; my son has a lot of fun and has met his kindergarten readiness goals. "
"My son just finished the daycare and PK from learning tree academy! He loves the school and the teachers. They are all very kind, very happy and very nice. We are all sad today is his last day, I can feel he’s so happy there, it’s so hard to find a good daycare in this area, but I’m glad we found it!"
