Hope Academy provides infants the environment and opportunity to:

  • Begin rolling, crawling and pulling up to explore the environment
  • Repeatedly perform an action attempting to achieve the same outcome
  • Develop communication skills by reacting to verbal language
  • Calm and comfort themselves when supported by a parent or caregiver
  • View Hope's Parent Handbook for all learning goals.

Toddlers

Your toddler is constantly testing the environment with a fearless spirit. Through smells, sounds, tastes, sights, and touching, toddlers are growing and learning every moment. Hope Academy's teachers of toddlers are solid Christian individuals who model and encourage proper Christ-like behaviors each day.

Toddlers learn by:

  • Singing or reciting a song or rhyme that contains alliteration
  • Demonstrating a growing vocabulary by identifying objects
  • Reacting and responding appropriately to the wants and needs of others
  • Attempting to accomplish routine tasks independently
  • View Hope's Parent Handbook for all learning goals.

Care Details
Toddlers 17 months to 30 months attend three, four, or five days per week.

Upper School

Preschool

Young learners continue their journey of exploration and discovery in the preschool classroom. Teachers help them apply their developing literacy and math skills through purposeful, planned learning experiences. The lesson plans allow children to learn from their teachers and from interactions with other children.

This private program focuses on:

  • Forming a beginning understanding of who they are created to be in Christ
  • Using math concepts by counting, grouping, and regrouping objects
  • Demonstrating social-emotional intelligence by controlling responses
  • Developing critical-thinking skills
  • View Hope's Parent Handbook for all learning goals.

Care Details
In order to be admitted, children must be between the ages of 3 and 5 years. In addition, children must be toilet independent to be eligible. Pull-ups are not acceptable; children must be fully toilet trained, needing minimal assistance from teachers.

Pre-Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten Prep (Pre-Kindergarten) program helps children magnify skills in core pre-academic areas such as literacy, math, and science, as well as in other essential areas such as art, social and emotional well-being, Christian knowledge and relationship and opportunities for behavioral development.

Students are exposed to a structured, diverse array of learning activities to further develop creative thinking, complex problem solving, empathetic collaboration, curious investigation, and astute decision making.

Pre-Kindergarten Program

Kindergarten

All academic settings expect first graders to possess strong science, technology, engineering and math skills. Hope firmly believes in allowing young children to explore the arts in order to develop a wider opportunity to discover talents and gifts. For this reason, Hope Academy has developed a challenging and inspiring curriculum focusing on STEM, reading and language skills, with a large number of special activities such as music theory, foreign language, drama, creative art, and much more.

The classroom setting is structured, character focused, and sets high expectations for a child’s best effort concerning work ethics and behavior. People of faith integrate Bible knowledge, spiritual growth, and everyday moral expectations, building a strong early childhood foundation that will carry our children through life.

Care Details
To be admitted, children must be 5 years old by September 30th. Our kindergarten program has been a part of the school for many years, and is widely respected. Children who attend will be provided a rigorous curriculum full of exciting activities, provided by experienced staff.

Hope “School’s Out” program opens at 6:30 a.m. and is available for children pre-scheduled to attend. School begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. for the Upper School.

Kindergarten dismisses at 3:00 p.m. Children remaining at the school past these times need to be scheduled to stay in our “School’s Out” Program.
