The early childhood years are a critical part of a child’s development and lay the foundation for future academic success. ACCESS is a quality early childhood program offering individualized education focused on developing a child’s cognition and language, fine and gross motor skills and social-emotional development. Literature is the cornerstone of the curriculum, setting the stage for the study of math, science, social studies and history. These learning experiences are enriched with music, art, drama and technology. By using multi-sensory elements that involve touching, seeing and hearing, ACCESS instructs for all learning styles.
Each classroom has a low student-to-teacher ratio allowing staff to give each child the instruction required to meet their individual needs with a team of professionals including a highly qualified teacher and teaching assistant, along with a speech therapist, occupational therapist and physical therapist. Therapy sessions allow for frequent one-on-one interactionwithin and outside the classroom setting.
Our team of educators are highly-qualified and experienced in teaching young children with special needs. Each lead teacher holds a degree in a special education, early childhood, or related field or boasts equivalent experience in early childhood or early intervention careers. This tenured team provides a loving, encouraging environment combined with innovative teachign methods that give every child the opportunity to expand their individual potential.
The ACCESS Early Childhood curriculum literacy-based is uniquely designed to promote language, early literacy, and phonological development. Every activity is based on children’s literature to assist children with developing vocabulary to discuss and participate in activities. Whether they are participating in music or art, children are learning about math, science orsocial studies across the curriculum.
Research has proven that vocabulary at age 3 is an indicator of the reading comprehension of a 9- or 10-year-old student. ACCESS places a heavy emphasis on vocabulary development for oral communication and comprehension, both of which have a direct impact on reading.
Classrooms are designed with an intensive focus on reading and development of written expression, as well as vital social skills training. Creative, multi-sensory materials engage auditory, tactile and visual learners.
Play is critical to the development of social, emotional, language, and motor skills. Play is a child’s work and provides the perfect setting to develop specific language, social, cognitive and motor skills.
