Franklin Academy offers a unique preschool experience that incorporates both the cognitive and physical experiences we know are needed to bring up a well-rounded, well-educated child.

Our mornings are spent in the classroom learning the academic and social skills needed to get your child ready for their elementary school career. Our afternoons provide the children with enrichment classes that promote both academic and physical experiences.

Preschool Program

Preschool is an important component to a child’s development and overall education.  There is enormous social, conceptual, emotional, linguistic, and motor growth during the first five years of a person’s life. The Preschool Program at Franklin Academy has been created to nurture the development of our young students.  We strive to create an environment which is stimulating and challenging but allows individual creativity and development.

​Franklin Academy believes that children go through similar stages of development, but at individual rates.  They learn through their senses (seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling). Active involvements such as exploring, playing, manipulating, and problem solving are experiences we strive to provide to our children.  Because they learn through these experiences, the value of play is cherished and encouraged.  Through the mixture of play and guided lessons, children create their own meaning and learning patterns. 

If you’re looking for everything under one umbrella, Franklin is your answer.  We know how busy life is and we have a program that can fill your needs.
