Preschool
Golden Wings Academy is a childcare center that provides a nutritional, educational, recreational, and social skills training program for children
from 2 yrs. to 5 yrs. of age. We believe a child can feel, touch, hear, and taste what he or she has experienced. By using a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate and implementing the latest techniques and strategies in our program our children receives an enjoyable educational foundation and a desire to learn more.
Children
Childen in our Preschool program range from 2 yrs. to 5 yrs. of age.

Our teachers understand how children learn and grow, their interaction focuses on assisting toddlers and preschoolers to organize information that they gather, practice reasoning/problem solving, expand communication skills, to reinforce positive behavior, set limits, to be independent, to comfort when needed.

Environment
Our Toddlers and Preschool classrooms are organized to support each age group by providing the materials needed for each child to physically explore, to discover, to be independent, engaging in pretend play, playing cooperatively with others, express their ideas and feelings, to test things out by doing.

Nutritional Meals
Breakfast, 2 Snacks, Lunch, and Dinner is served daily for children enrolled during serving hours. A schedule of serving hours and a two-week menu is posted on the parent information board.

Music study develops character by encouraging perseverance, determination, self-discipline, self -confidence, teamwork, critical thinking, active listening, memory skills, language development and appreciation for art.

Rhythmic movement facilitates gross motor skills.

Monthly Field Trips
We believe a child can learn only what he or she has seen and experienced therefore we attend monthly field trips to places related to our monthly curriculum theme.

Computer
So learning is always stimulating never frustrating as an educational aid our children are encouraged to play educational programs at our computer station. The software we utilize have been evaluated by teachers and educational professionals and designed to be age appropriate assuring that educational content and games are effective, and fun. Children become familiar with the basic parts of a computer, as well as reinforcing our curriculum through interactive games.
