The Primary Academy - Daycare & Preschool

     "We started our daughter at the Primary Academy in January 2005.  We wanted to transfer her to a day care in our neighborhood where she would eventually be going to elementary school and that had a formal Pre-Kindergarten Program.  At the time Elizabeth was 20 months away from starting Kindergarten and we wanted to ensure that she would be ready.  When we visited the Primary Academy, Elizabeth asked me if that was her new school.  I said I think so what do you think, she wanted it to be her new school, so we looked no further.  I had performed some research and narrowed our search down to three potential day care facilities.

     She has been exposed to Dance Classes, chapel, the Open Court Reading program, book fairs, programs on campus through the library, fire department and other visitors or shows.  When we went to the Kindergarten Round up last May, the only thing on the school's list to be ready for kindergarten she lacked, was tying her shoes!  We worked on that over the summer.  Her kindergarten teacher said that children she had received from the Primary Academy were ready for kindergarten and she felt Elizabeth would have no problems.  

     We have also been very pleased with the after school program.  We also took advantage of the before school program when my husband's schedule changed.  As parents, if we have had any issues, we have been able to discuss them with the stafff and any problems quickly resolved."

     "Our daughter Madelyn has been in the care of the Primary Academy since August 2004.  Now almost 4 years old we feel that the Primary Academy has had a positive impact on her academic, social, and emotional development.  We are very pleased with the curriculum.  Our daughter will be well prepared to begin kindergarten.  She has been given an excellent foundation to her education.  The children participate in learning centers and engaging learning activities.  She loves writing, computer, dress up, and kitchen centers.

     The teachers and directors are very caring, patient, and knowledgeable of children and the curriculum.  Each day the parents and children are greeted with friendly smiles from the staff.  The monthly newsletter and calendar is informative to parents.  They keep us up to date on the activities the children do daily.  Each day they participate in different activities related to a theme of the month.

     We love the programs they participate in.  They have included the Spring Fling and Christmas plays.  They have given us such wonderful memories of our daughter that we will never forget.  The Primary Academy is an awesome school.  It is a place where children are loved, taught, and challenged.  It's a place where it's all about the children."

     "I just wanted to send you a note of appreciation. Nolan is learning so much and so quickly it's blowing my mind away. He's three and knows what a hexagon/octagon are...I have 4h graders that don't know  that! :) He also knows how to recognize all the names of his  classmates (first and last) and when I tell him it's fall outside he  corrects me and tells me it's autumn. He absolutely loves school and  I don't have near as much mother's guilt about leaving him when I  know how much he's learning. He would not be this smart if I was a  stay-at-home mom!

     Thanks for all you and the teachers do."
