Description: Established in 1983, The Beanstalk Academy has developed a solid reputation among our community including schools, school teachers, and professionals. Please feel free to browse our site to find out about our programs and what makes a Beanstalk Academy experience so unique. THE BEANSTALK ACADEMY’S philosophy is based on a “developmental” approach to learning. All children grow and develop at their own pace and at their own time. THE BEANSTALK ACADEMY provides a wide range of activities that are well planned and stimulate the child’s curiosity to explore, experiment and develop an awareness of self and his environment. Our philosophy is based on planned activities, routine, structure, respect for others, limits and a wide range of curriculum concepts that are age appropriate. Our philosophy is stressed through the programs provided each day and students are encouraged to be themselves and guided to be individual thinkers and make positive choices. The Beanstalk Academy provides a full day and half day Nursery School and a full day Kindergarten program. The full day Kindergarten program is an accelerated program with a pre-screening process, required before acceptance to the program. Each class has a DEGREED HEAD TEACHER and a certified Assistant Teacher in each classroom at all times. The entire staff is a group of dedicated professionals who enjoy young children and have the knowledge of their growth and development process. Several of the staff members have been with THE BEANSTALK ACADEMY for over twenty years and their children are graduates of THE BEANSTALK ACADEMY.
