Our Philosophy

We believe that community connection encourages cognitive, social, and spiritual development.  Our teachers are trained in a variety of techniques to help children progress through physical interaction and visual, auditory, and sensory exploration.   We create opportunities for emotional growth through social stories that establish empathy, compassion, and the ability to self-advocate.

Assessments are performed individually and as a group throughout the school year to assist in tracking learning development.

Bible stories are presented in a developmentally appropriate manner, encouraging children’s understanding of Biblical truths. 

Learning

Celebration Academy believes every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential. We use various teaching strategies to help all children learn and stay engaged. Our activities are tailored to each age group. We use age-appropriate lessons in science, math, sensory, language, and more. We use Pinnacle, a faith-based curriculum, and the Ounce Scale for assessments, which evaluate all domains.

Play

Play is important! We encourage learning through hands on play. During the first five years of life, children’s brains are developing rapidly. Every block stacked, pretend meal cooked, and game of chase played helps build important skills that support lifelong learning and emotional well-being. Play supports nearly every area of development, including cognitive, language, social, Emotional and physical. Through play, children practice skills they will use for the rest of their lives.

Parents

Parents are a child’s first teacher. Parents play a key role at Celebration Academy. Our goal is to partner with parents to provide consistent care and learning. We recognize the significance of ongoing parental involvement in a child’s learning. When parents join in play or learning, children feel valued and connected. Even short moments of engaged play can strengthen your relationship and boost your child’s confidence.

Teachers

At Celebration Academy we have educated and highly trained teachers in each classroom. They are here each day to care for and teach you child to gain skills leading up to kindergarten. The teachers are compassionste with the children and attentive to their needs through-out the day.
