Confused By All Of The Choices?
Not sure what educational program
might be best for your child?





Most parents find it confusing when it comes to finding the right educational program for their young child. And rightfully so! The options are numerous and include homeschooling, private schooling and public schooling. Even daycare centers have added "pre-school" to their listings of programs nation wide.

Move-N-Learn Academy is a private young student educational program that is NOT daycare. The program offers a Pre-K program for ages 2-3 yrs, Junior Kindergarten for ages 3 1/2-4 years and Kindergarten for ages 4 1/2 -5 years. We offer a thematic curriculum with project based learning that allows all children to learn and experience success. Move-N-Learn Academy teaches the Oklahoma P.A.S.S. Skills and meets and exceeds the standards.

Besides the typical skills taught in math, reading and writting, science, social skills,circle time and personal information such as address and phone number, Move-N-Learn Academy offers Spanish, French, Money Skills, Art (not just coloring), Music and Instrument lessons (not just singing),Music Theory, Fitness, Gymnastics, Dance/Creative Movement, Swimming lessons (in the warm months) and Computers.

Parents always know what their children have worked on because they receive a daily report card, Also coming this fall is the ability to enter your parent portal and see the skills that your child has passed, so there are no surprises at the parent/teacher conferences, only pleasant outcomes.

For more information about Move-N-Learn Academy, please continue to read on or go to the location link at the top of the page.



Are You A Parent That Wants More Than The Ususal Educational Standards For Your Child?

Take a Look At Move-N-Learn Academy





If you are like most parents, you want to make the best choice for your child's early
education and experiences. It can be confusing as to what is the best method and style of
educational learning for your child. But if you are certain that you want more than the typical
educational setting for your young child ages 2-5 yrs, then take a look at Move-N-Learn Academy
and find out that all learning environments are not the same. We believe that children learn
 best when they are given the opportunity to move, create and explore!
By incorporating movement and thearts with an early childhood education program,
children have the great opportunity to discovertheir world in a whole new way!
 Integration of the arts offers children opportunities to assimilate
and apply what they learn in relevent and meaningful ways. Hands on project based learning
addresses students multiple intelligences and learning styles. According to an article on the
website of Americans For The Arts, arts based learning is not just something to do for fun,
but iis vital to the young child's learning and development:


Art Experiences that Promote Learning
Source: Young Children and the Arts: Making Creative Connections, 1998, pp. 11–12

  • Dance helps build motor control, body relationships, and a sense of direction.
  • Drawing, sculpting, and other visual arts develop spatial acuity.
  • Group activities, such as learning dance steps or singing songs, build social skills.
  • As children describe people and things in their world using pictures, body movements, and mime, they enhance their descriptive, nonverbal, cognitive capabilities.
  • Repeating stories, poems, and songs strengthens memory.
  • The art supplies children choose for their work reflects their approach to process and outcomes.
If the typical program is not what you are looking for in your child's education, we encourage
you to call and book a tour and visit with our staff. We believe that you will agree that
Move-N-Learn Academy is way more than you would expect in a private pre-k or kindergarten education!
To find out more about our Move-N-Learn Academy, just go to the Move-N-Learn Academy department of our website.

** Move-N-Learn is an educational program only and is not a daycare. We do not offer daycare
services of any kind.




Fabulous Fridays
Fabulous Fridays is a perfect "one day school" in the arts!

This one day a week intensive will treat your child ages Pre-K through 4th grade to a full day of music, art, dance, gymnastics, tumbling, computer arts, photography and more! Fabulous Fridays is from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm and is the perfect solution to those who are trying to figure out what to do with their children on Fridays that there is no school!

As public school systems start to deal with budget cuts and scheduling over loaded school systems, more and more will start moving towards a shorter school week. Some schools in our area have already went to no school on Fridays. This is where Fabulous Fridays is a great opportunity for your family NOW. Instead of leaving them home behind a locked door or taking them to a babysitter, your child can now study the arts in a full day!

For those children whose school districts are not out on Firdays until the spring, we NOW offer a shortened day of Fab Fridays from 3:00-5:00 pm. These students currently enrolled this fall will be given "priority placement" in the spring abd be guaranteed a placement in full day Fabulous Fridays.

Fabulous Fridays can also be used as a fifth day for our 4-5 yr old Move-N-Learn Academy members as well. To learn more about Fabulous Fridays and what we have to offer every
boy and girl in the area, just go to our Fabulous Fridays page!

                                   Lunch Bunch

Whether attending Lunch Bunch as a stand alone class or an extention of Move-N-Learn Academy, your child will love the fun of having lunch with the teacher and learning great things! Parents can use Lunch Bunch as a way to have some time to "get things done" or even just have lunch with the girls , get a spa treatment or attend a meeting.
 
Each day is a different opportunity to learn something new and educational. Learning in this prorgam can be a great surprise. From Science and math projetcts to movement activities, no other program (well, except for our Move-N-Learn Academy) can compare! Participants bring a sack lunch or order from our catering menu for the day. We invite your child to be a part of the fun of learning in a different way!!
