Learning Should Be FUN!
Foundations Academy
Our private Pre-Kindergarten program aims to foster a love of learning in students, preparing them both academically and socially for Kindergarten.
Overview
Welcome to our Foundations Academy, where we empower children aged 4 to dive into the exciting world of Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies through fun hands-on activities and play!
Our program emphasizes vital social-emotional skills that help our students build friendships with their peers. Children are encouraged to follow their curiosity as they engage in activities that foster early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills.
With a cozy small group setting and a maximum teacher-student ratio of 1:10, every child gets the attention they deserve!
One for All, & All for FUN!
Experience a one-of-a-kind academic environment tailored to suit your child's individual learning needs.
We start with a diagnostic assessment to understand each child's unique abilities, allowing us to create customized materials that match their needs perfectly. This way, our young learners can thrive at their own pace in a nurturing and vibrant classroom environment.
Our Foundations Academy is a full-day program unlike anything offered elsewhere, as parents have the flexibility to create a schedule that best fits their child's needs and their budget. Whether your child attends for a single day or the full week, there's something FUN for everyone!
We host elective classes on Mondays that include teacher-guided lessons incorporating art, science, social emotional learning concepts, and fitness/movement!
Tuesday-Thursday we host our academic classes in which students engage in center-based, hands-on learning activities aligned with the weekly theme. These activities are differentiated based on ability to allow those students who are advanced learners an opportunity to move into standards aligned at a Kindergarten level, or beyond!
On Fridays students will engage in enrichment centers that incorporate student-led dramatic play, sensory activities, music, and storytelling. We also host an in-house field trip the last Friday of every month to build upon foundational skills in a FUN-filled setting!
Each day of class is held from 10am-3pm, and we have optional wrap-around care available beginning at 6:30am and ending at 5:30pm to assist working families.
Part-time students can attend 1-3 days of academic classes Tuesday-Thursday, and have the option to add-on elective classes on Mondays and/or enrichment centers/field trips on Fridays.
Our full-time program includes classes Monday-Friday. Tuition is inclusive of all elective classes, academic classes, enrichment classes, and in-house field trips, plus students will have the ability to join our holiday camps at no additional charge!
We offer a 10% tuition discount for siblings, military (active or retired), first responders (Police, EMT, & Fire), and public school employees.
Note: As a private Pre-Kindergarten program we do not participate in the Early Learning Coalition voucher program. However, we do accept Step Up for Student scholarship funds.
This program is offered at both our Brandon and Zephyrhills locations!
Brandon: 1721 S. Kings Ave.
Zephyrhills: 35008 Pure Water Way (inside of the Kids Ministry of New Walk Church)
