Safari Sensory!

At The Academy Of Gateway we have been learning all about Safari amnimals! Wildlife plays an important role in balancing the environment. Wildlife provides a stability to different processes of the nature. Wildlife and nature have been largely associated with humans for emotional and social reasons. We are also a part of wildlife to make ecological balance on earth. The benifits that the children learn are empathy and respect, understanding the circle of life, responsibility, and it helps with communication.

Chop Jr !

We have been learning with our little chefs all about cooking at The Academy Of Gateway! Cooking can help young kids learn and practice some basic math concepts and build language skills.Tthe experience of creating meals can help build their self-confidence and lay the foundation for healthy eating habits. Cooking encourages children's thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It also allows children the opportunity to use the knowledge they have and apply it by counting, measuring, following a sequence, following directions, and cause and effect.

Kindergarten Boot Camp! (KBC)

We kicked off our KBC this week! The children are loving it. We prep our little ones for kindergarten. We make sure they are confident and know what to expect going into the school system. Kindergarten Boot Camp is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate Kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as opening a milk carton, carrying a lunch tray, returning library books, and even a week focused on getting dropped off at the front door to Ms.Lucretia and Ms.Brittany to walk into the school and even practice with a crossing guard.  These are just a few examples of how we "train" your child to "be all the can be!" The BEST part for you? There is NO ADDITIONAL cost!

Water Day!

This week we brought back our water days! Water play activities help to develop and strengthen children's gross and fine motor skills. Children enhance their gross motor skills, coordination and physical fitness through lifting, pouring, carrying, running and splashing, while actions such as squeezing help to develop the small muscles in a child's hands.
