Decades of Fun!

This past week at The Academy Of Gateway, the theme has been "Decades". Dressing up as they would in the past decades, and it was anything short of a blast from the past! I can't express how much fun we had dressing up, so I'll just have to show you.

It was a good time to see everyone's sense of fashion during this week. We enjoyed it, but it is back to the future we go.

Bug Safety

Playing outside is so vital for young children. It is a time to explore, play and enjoy nature. The only downfall is that we are exposed to new critters, some who wish us well and other not so much. This past summer in the southern tip of the United States has been the scare of Zika virus. It effects pregnant moms and can lead to serious health complications for the mom and baby.

Nonetheless, here are a few ways to prevent the Zika Virus and moving forward in keeping out little ones safe, we can be sure that we are spraying bug repellent and covering our bodies extremities. If you are worried about the virus, the symptoms include nausea, fever, rash, and joint pain. Seek professional medical help if you suspect about the virus. Stay safe and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

KINDERGARTEN BOOT CAMP: AN ACADEMY EXCLUSIVE

The Academy is recognized by the community for our kindergarten specific programs including our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten Boot Camp. Our Pre-K program includes hands-on explorations that create new learning connections in language, math, science, social, emotional and physical development. Children investigate “Big Ideas” and are actively involved in seeking answers to their own questions. Intentional daily plans cover a specific range of guidelines that prepare our children to meet and exceed kindergarten readiness standards for both public and private schools. Kindergarten Boot Camp, offered exclusively by Never Grow Up, is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as remembering a lunch number, carrying a lunch tray or returning a library book are examples of how we “train” our Academy kids to “be all they can be”!

Gold Sneaker Certified

Healthy habits are instilled at a young age, with most habits being formed during adolescence. We feel it important to instill good habits at an early age, addressing behavioral factors that contribute to overweight and obesity from the beginning. The Gold Sneaker initiative was developed to enhance policy related to physical activity and nutrition within licensed child care facilities across Tennessee. Policies we've adopted include minimum requirements on physical activity, sedentary activities, breastfeeding, meal time, behaviors, portion sizes, and a tobacco-free facility. Together, we can create healthy habits for life.
