Sea Horse Pod
Fun and Challenging
( 2 & 3 Year Olds)
Enroll in this hands-on, innovative class and take part in a unique, challenging learning experience. Our qualified and skilled teachers serve as facilitators in the course, guiding students through exploring and individual learning. This program inspires your child to examine, create, and to share as he or she broadens his or her language through interactions with teachers and classmates in a safe, nurturing environment. Sensory and repetitive activities transform these new experiences into knowledge. The curriculum focuses on language arts and literacy, mathematics, social science and emotional development, as well as character education. Through learning centers and age appropriate curriculum, our Sea Horses have the ability to work at their own pace and learn to do tasks independently.

An Exceptional Learning Experience
( 4 & 5 Year Olds )
Dive right into class with one of our expert teachers. Our goal as educators is to spur our students’ curiosity and allow them to learn at their own pace. The curriculum in our Pre K class at Ocean View Academy is specifically designed to meet the child care and learning needs of our future Kindergartners. This challenging, fun and age appropriate program engages the whole child, helping to hone thinking, reasoning and communicating. Kindergarten readiness is so important that we have designed our Pre K program to help your child make significant developmental gains, like communicating successfully and working well both independently and in groups. The children participate in projects, gardening, recycling and taking care of classroom pets. They are introduced to a phonics program called Zoo Phonics and are able to explore writing with a Handwriting Without Tears program.
