"INSPIRED LEARNING FOR LIFE"
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS
In addition to exceptional education we also offer optional additional opportunities for children. For an additional cost families can utilize the following programs:
Enrichment Programs:
TOT Basketball
TOT is a unique extra-curricular preschool program for boys and girls that focuses on basketball ball handling and dribbling skills.
Every week a TOT instructor will teach your child athletics, academics, and agility. The classes are focused around improving your child’s physical and mental growth through movement and music. TOT uses the perfect mixture of physical movement, hand eye coordination, and brain use to maximize the growth of your preschooler.
Enrichment Programs:
Speech Therapy
We partner with Jennifer Douglas with Lekker Speech to offer speech therapy to children in our program. This is an optional program and is an additional cost that families pay directly to Lekker Speech. It is often helpful to our Early Academy families that we offer speech therapy during the day while thier children are in school.
If you have been given instructions by your doctor to have your child's speech and language evaluated, Jennifer is available to do full evaluations while your child is at school. If you are unsure if a full speech evaluation is needed, Jennifer can provide a speech and language screening for a $5 fee per screening. This screening will only determine if your child is functioning within normal limits or if a full evaluation is recommended.
To set up an evaluation or screening, give the Early Academy staff your information and Jennifer will give you a call. Lekker Speech can bill Blue Cross/Blue Shield or accept private pay.
