Alaska Children's Academy
Wasilla's Choice for Daycare and Preschool
Preschool Program
Our preschool program was created to develop your child's academic skills while enhancing your child's social
development. We have combined 20+ years of preschool activities and experience with The Learning Box
Preschool program to provide your preschooler with the well rounded preschool education they need. Our
program has a daily circle time where your child is read to in each half day period. We introduce and build upon
letters, numbers, counting and recognition along with calendar skills, phonics, science, social studies, math,
cooking, computer skills, music, foreign language and art in a small classroom environment, using hands-on
experiences to develop your child's writing and social skills. We also emphasize group play to foster the
development of social skills, including listening, sharing and cooperation. Your child will be encouraged to explore
and learn in a fun environment, while making friends and developing self-confidence. Your child will be able to
apply the knowledge learned here to excel in school. Preschoolers have over Ten Learning Centers which are
rotated weekly that cover topics such as:
Sorting
Arranging items in sequence
Counting items
Measuring
Recognizing and creating patterns
Comparing differences and similarities
Complex magnet activities
Magnifying glasses for object observation
Outdoor thermometer exploration
Butterfly larvae observation
Weather Station
And more...
Preschoolers will be given 1/2 hr twice a week of computer time to help develop their computer skills before
starting school. Kool School, PBS.com and Starfall.com, ABC mouse.com will be the programs they have
access to. Computers have child content filters enabled.
Preschool goals
Your preschooler will be exposed to an active challenging preschool environment that will help them excel in
school.
