Key highlights of our preschool program include: -
- Cognitive Skills: Encouraging the child’s curiosity and reasoning abilities and fostering the natural desire to learn. CCA focus on maintaining a healthy balance between academic goals and innovative teaching techniques, and the desire to nourish every child into lifelong achievers, compassionate individuals, and most importantly, global and responsible citizens.
- Self Confidence: Nurturing the child’s positive self-image, as well as sensitivity to other people and the environment. Every child is special and has some hidden potential. We identify and value their abilities. The school encourages their students to be themselves and appreciate not just their strengths, but also their weaknesses. With self-love and self-confidence, it is equally vital to be humble and practice the art of kindness. Our children learn to mend relationships with other people and understand their emotions to achieve success and happiness in life.
- Social Skills: Promoting a spirit of fairness, cooperation, and sharing that brings positive responses from others. Carousel Children’s Academy engages its kids in teamwork. We feel that sometimes the simplest way to build a relationship is to volunteer to help someone out.
- Independence: Helping the child learn to make decisions and supporting the self-directed resolution of problems. There is a common perception that we will always be content in life if someone else chooses for us. This thinking needs to be changed! We claim us as one of the best Private schools in Manassas VA because we teach our students the art of making good decisions without fearing its consequences. Considering emotions and finding self-directed resolution of problems is the best way to make a decision.
- Language Skills: Providing activities and materials to help increase the child’s attention span and listening skills, enlarge vocabulary, and stimulate the imagination. When we learn our language, we start with listening, then speaking, then reading, and finally writing. Language skill is necessary for every child to learn as it is the ability of a person to use the language.
- Physical Skills: Fostering an understanding of how the body works, and of coordination through the use of large and small muscles. Carousel Children’s Academy preschool kids are taught about physical skills. Physical skills are the consistency and accuracy of how we make use of our bodies when performing tasks. There are different ways in which a human body can move in day-to-day activities, however, some physical skills come into practice in certain active tasks such as dancing, sports, and drama.
