About the Provider
Dynamic Learning Academy is an academically driven preschool/enrichment center where the whole child is nurtured and learning occurs organically through play. The daily life at our school is a language-rich learning environment that supports and fosters healthy growth and development through meaningful experiences. Experiences that draw on the children’s abilities and interests while stimulating new learning and curiosity.
Literacy is integrated across the curricula in conjunction with social studies, art, music, movement, science, math, group piano lessons, foreign language, cultural enrichment, yoga, philanthropic opportunities, field trips, and guest speakers. An integral part of the DLA learning is for children to learn more about the world around them. The students will share in a number of community service and special projects throughout the year. By participating in philanthropic opportunities our students learn that their efforts–no matter how small—truly make a difference in our community.
