We help your children reach higher
At STARS our goal is to partner with parents through the early childhood years from birth to Kindergarten. We offer academy quality to working families in mind offering consistent and dependable care throughout the year. Our name, STARS, symbolizes the five domains in which we focus: Science, Technology, Arts, Reading and Sports. We believe these domains to be a critical foundation to a child’s current and future success. Read more about each of these domains below.
Science
The study of science gives students an opportunity to participate in hands-on learning. It’s exploration, observation, experimentation and questioning. Science is fun! The study of science lends itself to cooperative learning opportunities. The curriculum is student driven based on their interests, validating curiosity and discovery.
Technology
According to Merriam-Webster, technology is the practical application of knowledge. This domain centers around the creation of carefully developed centers, activities and/or experiences that will allow students to practice a specific skill or explore a theme.
Arts
Creative arts is more than glitter and glue. At STARS Early Learning Academy, students will engage in opportunities to grow creatively through visual and performing arts such as music, dance, painting and sculpture..
Reading
Research shows, growing a love of language from infancy can greatly impact a child’s long term educational success. At STARS students are active participants in literacy instruction. Circle time, chants, songs and acting out stories help develop comprehension. Regular exposure to quality literature leads to phonemic awareness, print awareness, and concepts of print. These building blocks of reading help instill a love of learning that will help children reach higher.
Sports
Structured play is purposeful, giving opportunities for the development of gross motor skills such as: running, skipping, kicking, throwing, jumping, crawling and climbing. Social and cooperative play also encourage teamwork, problem solving and sportsmanship. At STARS, students are given opportunities for both structured and unstructured play daily.
