Preschool

Learning Academy Philosophy

 
We strive to teach the thrill of learning!
We believe that everyBODY should have the opportunity to be the best they can be.
We provide an environment that develops the whole child:
body, mind, and spirit. 

 

Here are the needed forms to get started: 

More than just ABC's and 123's

The Academy welcomes all potty trained three to five-year-old children. We believe that the Great Falls Gymnastics Learning Academy offers more than any other preschool or daycare in Great Falls! Your child may attend our three day program, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. We have a fourth day option for our Pre-K students it includes Wednesdays.

Our unsurpassed curriculum intertwines the social, physical and mental development of our students within our warm, kid-friendly environment. Every child at the Academy receives age-appropriate information and skills, such as letter names and sounds, numbers, proper classroom behavior, introductory science and much, much more.

We know that kids learn best when their curiosity is piqued and when adventure abounds!  We also know that current research has linked physical movement to ‘higher learning’, so these early childhood years set the stage for future learning and future success.  Additionally, movement has now been shown to help organize the developing brain! There is simply no better place for three to five-year-olds in Great Falls.

Because we know how important movement and physical activity is to the developing brain, our students participate in daily gymnastics lessons at the Academy. Classes are taught in our state-of-the-art gymnastics facility, with brightly colored age-appropriate equipment. Our students enjoy the same lesson plans that are offered nightly in the Grass Hopper Program where they work on coordination, balance, flexibility and confidence as they use child-sized balance beams, rings, bars, mats and more. It’s truly a child’s delight!
