Benefits of Early Education at Kids Christian Academy

Building the proper learning foundation from the early years is crucial as these experiences affect the architecture of the maturing brain. The learning experience for a child begins as soon as they are born, with their brains being built from the bottom up.

According to scientific research interactive influences of genes and experience shape the developing brain. The heart and the mind of a child are molded by their environment and relational experiences. The active ingredient in all this being the relationships with their parents and other caregivers in their families and or community

When our youngest citizens receive a stimulating environment with a plethora of opportunities to explore, discover and interact positively with others, we in-turn lay a strong foundation for their future learning. Exceptional quality child-care and preschool programs provide this strong foundation and give children the tools they need to succeed in school and in life. Everyone tends to benefit when we give children the right start.

Infant and Toddlers

Infant Stimulation

When your baby’s senses are stimulated it will enable him/her to reach developmental milestones faster, as well as aid in the development of motor skills.

In the first year of life a baby’s brain grows exponentially fast and positive developmental changes are enhanced through the infants interaction with their environment. It’s never too early to incorporate regular reading time as part of the family routine. Reading to one’s infant supports the development of good communication, vocabulary development and attention span.

Findings show that musical sounds play an important role in the lives of infants and toddlers as children are known to respond to music in a positive manner. The baby responds, becomes attentive and makes eye contact when they are sung to and this eventually leads to this interaction becoming an interchange of communication between the baby and the adult. Music in its nature is very sensual and thus contributes to the emotional well being of the infant and toddler.

Kids Christian Academy offers a high-quality Orlando day care benefits that influence and impact the development of your baby. Our small teacher to child ratio is extremely important in determining the effects of your child’s development.

Our school-oriented activities facilitate cognitive skills early on and at a consistent rate. The abilities and skills needed for success are enhanced by starting early and giving your child the learning advantage: Early Education!

Preschool Academic Programs

Good education should never be limited to a good high school that would entail your child getting into a good college, as the foundation for this begins much earlier, in preschool to be precise. The kids that attend preschool are at an advantage because not only are they exposed to math and reading, they are also developing social skills. University of Rochester Warner School of Educations’ assistant professor, Martha E. Mock says that, “Children learn best through meaningful interactions with real materials, their peers and caring adults and not through the drilling of isolated skills.

Each day is an opportunity for our children to take part in activities that teach them new concepts and skills that support their school day, including homework assistance. We also incorporate outdoor activities which is usually the most pleasant time for school age children. We have a large fenced playground, where children are encouraged to play and interact with one another in a safely monitored environment.
