OUR GOALS of the ALC ACADEMY EDUCATION PROGRAM
Our goal is to provide a strong educational foundation for children
and to prepare them for
kindergarten. We accomplish this by providing a caring environment where children learn through the joy and adventure of hands-on play.
These stimulating experiences offer children the opportunity to explore their environment and practice skills within a classroom setting shared with their peers. In a loving Christian atmosphere, we guide children to reach their full potential to become self-reliant, confident, respectful, responsible, and problem solvers.

The Pre-Kindergarten Program emphasizes individualized attention, close relationships among staff, students, and parents. The program encourages creativity and growth in young children.
Recent research has shown that optimal development of the human brain occurs between the ages of 2-5 and that the cognitive development and motor skills developed by children during this period had long-lasting as well as often life-influencing effects.

To be eligible, you must be from a low-income family that is working and/or is in school, have a need for childcare, and your child must be a U.S. citizen. The subsidy amount varies depending upon the age of the child, the type of childcare, the location of the program, and the quality rating of the program.
