Our Philosophy
The goal of Discovery Village Academy is to prepare children academically for kindergarten, provide an environment that builds both self confidence and empathy for others. We know that children learn best through play.
Our classrooms are arranged by learning centers: blocks, dramatic play, manipulatives, language, math, science, art, sensory table, literacy, and writing. Teachers work with small groups or individuals on specific skills, such as counting or pre-writing activities.
Get Set for School is the core curriculum focusing on: Readiness and Writing, Language and Literacy, and Numbers and Math. The curriculum model incorporates traditional circle time for group instruction; topics covered during circle time vary but include age-appropriate versions of: daily duties, alphabet, calendar, weather, numbers/counting, sharing, story time, comprehension question and answer, and music. We utilize the Handwriting Without Tears program as well as the Second Step social and emotional curriculum in all of our classes. We have a large indoor playground developed by PlayTime™ and a fenced outdoor playground for dramatic play and physical activity each day.
