Programming for all students

Logos Academy believes in nurturing creativity in its students to help them become confident, competent, and creative thinkers and problem-solvers for the workforce of the 21st Century.

Our program incorporates STEM activities and extension opportunities for children to explore and create on a daily basis.

Bright Beginnings (3 years old)

Logos Academy accepts children who turn 3 years old by Dec. 31st

Our Bright Beginnings class is uniquely suited to our youngest students and our students who are actively working on potty training skills.

The focus of this class is helping children acclimate to the school environment.  Bright Beginnings students learn about sharing with others, problem-solving through play, participating in circle time, making friends, early counting, following instructions, using their fine motor skills, and cooperating with peers. The students stay with the same teachers throughout the morning program and participate in an introductory Spanish lesson on a daily basis. Bright Beginnings is an excellent preparation for our preschool program.

Preschool (3 – 4 years old)

Our curriculum uses a hands-on approach to developing large and small motor coordination, creativity and expression, socialization skills, and much more through weekly and monthly themes that expose children to a wide variety of cultural activities and learning opportunities.

Preschoolers expand their problem-solving abilities, grasp of language, and memory/listening skills, while enjoying relationships with classmates and teachers.

This is a year full of activities to help the children strengthen the fine muscles needed for writing, understand and follow directions, learn to count objects up to 5, and grow in their ability to focus during group times.  Circle time stories and finger plays, center time “hands-on” learning experiences, and creative movement are all part of the preschool experience.

Pre-K (4 – 5 years old)

Our Pre-K program is an integral bridge from preschool to kindergarten. There is a delicate balance of group-time instruction and child-directed play. We promote learning through a variety of hands-on activities and welcome their curiosity. Our activities are carefully selected to encourage independence, problem-solving skills, and teach them how to collaborate with their peers.

We believe that a successful Pre-K program
prepares a student to be “kindergarten-ready”. At Logos, we do this by allowing children to participate in structured activities that include pre-reading, critical thinking, writing and math.

Although we strive to prepare our students academically, our main goal is to set them up for success by focusing on their social and emotional development. In Pre-K we talk about empathy, listening actively, recognizing emotions, and friendship (to name a few). Through these important lessons, we support children’s social-emotional development to build a positive classroom community.

Our Core Subjects

Logos Academy’s bi-literacy language program offers a comprehensive, well-balanced and integrated approach with the objective of preparing children to enter the world of communication by recognizing the patterns and rhythms of sounds, displaying knowledge of written and spoken words, and demonstrating imagination and creativity in expressing ideas orally and in writing.

Logos Academy’s bi-literacy program includes a focus on helping students to build strong speaking and listening skills. Participation in daily dialogues including morning meeting, show and tell, dramatic play, and responses to literature to help students practice speaking in complete sentences, engage in question-and-answer dialogue, make predictions, and express their feelings.

Children benefit from content-related math lessons each day in English and Spanish so that concepts can be reinforced and fully explored. This dual-language approach fosters student comprehension and mastery.

Logos Academy’s math program uses hands-on activities, learning games and math-specific manipulatives. Children learn math skills through concrete, visual and tactile experiences. Critical concepts include spatial relationships, sorting and classifying, shapes & patterns, and number sense. Geometry, measurement, and concepts of time and money are also introduced in terms that preschoolers can grasp.

Students engage in a wide variety of multi-sensory tasks designed to stimulate and strengthen early math development.

Logos Academy’s science and social studies programs provide many of our class themes throughout the year. Developing critical thinking and problem solving techniques begins at the early stages of development.

Logos Academy’s science and social studies programs are inquiry based, and students are encouraged to use their thought process to solve everyday occurrences in the classroom. Teachers give students the opportunity to elaborate and explain their ideas, opinions, thoughts and predictions, while presenting them with questions and situations that enable them to develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Within this framework, children will learn to investigate the world around them through scientific experiments and cultural observations.

In science, children gain skills observing, describing and classifying; learning a respect for life: animals, plants, and people; and an understanding of seasonal including those in animal life cycles.

In social studies, children explore their relationships with themselves, their family, their friends, and their communities.  They explore basic feelings and emotions in themselves and those around them. They learn to see themselves as a part of a larger community.

As children learn about various cultures, holidays, and traditions, Logos Academy fosters an appreciation of diversity within the school and community.

Developing social emotional skills is an important part of children’s preschool experience.  Logos Academy strives to provide each child with the tools and confidence it takes to be an effective communicator.

Our program focuses on helping children to develop the ability to share and be accepting of others. Children learn self-control and how to resolve conflict in a positive way through many play-based activities with their peers. Children learn to recognize their needs and effectively ask for what they need. Children’s confidence grows as they attempt and successfully accomplish more activities.

Our program allows children plenty of play where children safely act out different roles and strong feelings in acceptable ways. They learn to resolve conflicts with other children in ways that help them vent frustrations and maintain self-esteem.
