Achieving New Heights welcomes children from ages six weeks through thirteen years. Parents can fulfill employment, education, and any other obligations because of the extended hours and services that we offer. Our goal is to create a loving educational environment in which children learn about themselves and others, their feelings, and the world around them.
At Achieving New Heights, our devoted and passionate teachers serve as guides on the learning journey. Our caregivers closely observe each child to gain understanding of his or her abilities, strengths, and challenges. Upon assessment, our teachers provide additional assistance and guidance to further explore and engage your child’s learning style. We passionately believe that children should have choices while learning in a classroom, for this encourages the development of problem-solving techniques and decision-making skills. To that end, we encourage children decision-making, to ask questions, and to explore classroom activities of their choosing. In addition, we accommodate monthly themes and lessons as large group activities for peer interactions and social networking.
WE MEET THESE GOALS USING OUR “CREATIVE CURRICULUM” WHICH FOCUSES ON FOUR BASIC AREAS OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT:
Social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language.
The social/emotional stage helps encourage independence, self-confidence, and self-control. Within this stage, children learn how to make friends, how to have group interactions and how to follow rules.
The physical stage is intended to increase children’s large/small and gross/fine motor skills.
The cognitive stage is associated with thinking skills. Children learn how to solve problems, ask questions, and think critically.
The language stage is all about communication. Children learn how to communicate with others, listen and participate in conversations, and recognize various forms of print. In this stage, children begin to recognize letters and words and begin writing for a purpose.
