Trying To Decide On A Preschool Education Environment For Your Child?
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 preschooler, 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 the arts with an early childhood education program, children have the great opportunity to discover their 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 preschoolers learning and development:
Art Experiences that Promote Preschool 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 preschool education! ** Move-N-Learn is an educational program only and is not a daycare.

Today, there are many young student educational options available to families and finding the right fit for your child can be a bit confusing. While checking out different learning progrms for your child, be sure that you are clear as to what setting you are looking for. Some daycares offer a "preschool" options that parents may select. And although being in a daycare setting that is licensed by the state agencies, not even all "preschools" in daycares are the same. Private educational environments may or may not cost more than the privately owned daycare that offer a "preschool". It can be so confusing! Click here to find out what four questions a parent should ask in locating a pre-school education setting.
All preschool learning programs know the value of learning the ABC's, days of the week, months and holidays of the year,and working with numbers, but the method of delivery is what differs the most. From the programs that have a child sitting for several minutes to those which allow a child to move from center to center for self learning there are many diferences and many opinions as to what is the best setting for learning.
A 1991 study showed that students in schools with an arts focused curriculum reported significantly more positive perceptions about their academic abilities. A University in California (Irvine) reported that preschoolers showed a 46% boost in their spatial reasoning IQ after only eight months of piano instruction.
Arts based learning is not new to the preschool setting. Arts based learning is the enhancement method that is used in the Move-N-Learn Academy Pre-K and Jr Kindergarten programs. It is our belief that young children learn best through movement and arts based activities such as music, pre-piano, art, dance, gymnastics and swimming. These art elements allows the young student to connect the cognitive learning of a core curriculum to true life activities. Adding the arts to general pre-education needs is a great way to learn.
We encourage you to take a look at the Move-N-Learn Academy for your young child's early learning program options either as a stand alone program, home schooled enhancement or public school enhancement. We believe you will be pleased with the out come. Move-N-Learn Academy offers a child more because we believe that they deserve it.
