My Whole Earth Academy

Our Level 1 Prep Program introduces your child to the classroom experience by ‘attending school’ at a slower pace, with you or your designated caregiver as their mentor and guide.

The Goals: To lay a strong social foundation based in kindness and trust while introducing school concepts, such as circle time, asking the Teacher for help, pride in cleaning up, sharing and turn-taking, and more.

Our Level 2 Prep Program focuses on supporting your child’s emerging sense of autonomy and independence. English vocabulary and scholastic concepts are explored with a bit more complexity, and ‘Snack Time’ is introduced to develop public speaking confidence along with personal self-control and life skill independence. Classroom activities such as science experiments & art activities build on the foundational skills gained in Prep 1. Early numeracy & literacy activities further enhance the learning environment.

The Goals: To support the emergent autonomy of each child and their healthy separation from caregiver dependence for most classroom activities. To expand your child’s vocabulary for receiving help, changing social interactions for the better, and sharing feelings.

At 2½ years old, your child is ready for our Independence Building Program. This supportive program offers gradual separation in our licensed classroom. Parents are again coached by the Teachers, this time to develop positive language and techniques for leaving the classroom while supporting their child’s independence in kind and loving ways.

The Goals: To support independent classroom attendance and prepare children for the expectations of Preschool. To complete the transfer of trust and authority to Teachers and build friendship skills.
