Our Four-Year-Old Curriculum

At Grow With Us Learning Academy in Crestview, we combine play with purposeful learning to give your child the best possible start. Our programs introduce early concepts in math, literacy, and science through fun, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and excitement.

For our 4-year-olds, lessons are thoughtfully structured to balance academic skills with social and emotional development. This well-rounded approach helps children build confidence as they prepare for kindergarten and future success.

Our dedicated Crestview teachers know how to keep learning joyful and engaging. By nurturing each child’s curiosity and love of play, we create a learning environment where every child can grow, explore, and thrive.

Social-Emotional Skills
At this stage, children enjoy spending time with their friends and often form special bonds with classmates they play with each day. Our Crestview preschool program helps them learn the importance of sharing, kindness, and respect, which are essential skills for positive social growth and preparing for success in school and in life.
Instructed Learning
The curriculum at our childcare facility includes guided learning experiences that help children explore and discover the world around them. During the pre-K year, children are introduced to early literacy and math skills, giving them a strong foundation in reading and basic numeracy that will support their success in kindergarten and beyond.
Self-Help Skills
In our four-year-old program, children develop important self-help skills that encourage independence and confidence. They practice washing their hands, opening their own snacks, and tidying up after activities. These hands-on experiences support daily routines while helping children understand how they learn and interact with the world around them.
Specific Daily Lessons
In Crestview, our programs cover science, math, social studies, early literacy, and social-emotional development. Children learn both inside and outside the classroom, tackling hands-on challenges each day. We believe that children learn best by doing, not just observing, and every activity gives them the chance to explore, experiment, and discover in a fun and engaging way.
Individualized Lessons
Our VPK teachers understand that every child learns differently, so we design our curriculum to support each student’s unique learning style. Lessons are created with Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences in mind, ensuring that every child can engage in meaningful ways. By going beyond the basics, our VPK program helps students get the most out of their early learning experience. We welcome you to visit and see our Crestview program in action. At Grow With Us, your child will thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. Contact us today to learn more.

    Your Child’s First Day at Grow With Us in Crestview

    It is completely normal for young children to feel unsure about being away from their parents. Just like adults, they need time to adjust to a new environment.

    Talk with your child beforehand about the new people they will meet and the activities they will enjoy. For first-time students, it is normal to feel hesitant or upset during separation. A reassuring hug and kiss when you say goodbye helps them feel secure and confident that you will return later in the day.

    Our caring staff will comfort your child until they feel safe and ready to play independently. You are always welcome to call the school to check in. We are here to support both you and your child through any transitional challenges.
