    At The Gray Academy Your child will participate in developmentally age appropriate activities throughout the day.

     

  • Infants & Toddlers program

  • The Gray Academy Infants & Toddlers  program is aligned with The Creative Curriculum© Leading research on cooperative early learning shows us that young children learn best when they are actively engaged in the process of creating and exploring the world around them. Children in our care benefit from active teaching strategies crafted to their individual needs. Even our youngest students learn independence through predictable routines and projects that interest them.

    Preschool is a big year. We’ve designed our program to give you complete confidence in every aspect of your child’s experience; from health and safety; to ready-for-school curriculum; to the full support of experienced teachers.

We have developed many creative ways to turn before & after school into productive time. This is a great benefit for all kids, and especially those with learning or attention challenges. Our programs provide homework help giving children an opportunity to do their assignments and also seek a teachers assistance, should they need it.
