How the program works
At Budding Scholars Academy, each class is limited to 10 students, ensuring personalized attention for every child. Each week, we introduce a new word and theme, which serve as the focus of our lessons. Families receive a free welcome packet, an art kit, and weekly lesson packets to support the theme and word of the week.
The day before each class, families will receive a teaching video to watch with their child. This video sets the stage for the next day’s session, called our “Academy Preschool Pals Moment,” where we discuss what was learned and engage in related activities. This structure fosters continuous learning and keeps children excited for every class! It's a great way for your child to "Learn, Play & Grow".
