At Albrecht Kinder Academy, we believe that play facilitates learning. Through a hands-on, play-based approach, children are encouraged to participate in a variety of learning experiences that instill the desire to form their own decisions and learn through open-ended as well as structured activities. Our teachers provide opportunities for children to be active participants in play and to thereby develop their social-emotional, physical, language/literacy and cognitive skills.

Social-Emotional Skills
Social-Emotional Skills
Each child who comes to Albrecht Kinder Academy is a unique person with an individual personality. First and foremost, we focus on the development of strong social-emotional skills, because we know that they are the foundation upon which all our children's future success lies. We foster this development by building relationships amongst children and adults through warm, respectful communication. We strive to help each child develop a positive self-image and a strong sense of self-esteem.

Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills, the ability to both identify and control small objects with one's hands, are critical for many tasks such as writing, drawing, picking up dropped Cheerios and finding pennies in your pocket. We support the development of fine motor skills by providing hands on experiences such as drawing, painting, cutting and using stickers, and sensory experiences such as playing with finger paint, sand and water.
Gross Motor Skills
Gross Motor Skills
Gross motor skills, the ability to control and successfully utilize one's larger muscles, are vital to many experiences children will have in their future, both in and out of school, such as playing on the playground, participating in sports, riding a bicycle, and sitting at a desk. We provide opportunities for children to develop these skills by running, jumping, climbing, dancing and hanging from the monkey bars...

Language Skills
Young children develop language skills at a remarkable rate and we provide opportunities to help them do so. We facilitate the growth of spoken language through speaking with the children and through actively encouraging them to speak with each other. We ask for their opinions, model patterns of conversation, ask them questions, and utilize descriptive language to help them begin to label items and feelings.
Literacy Skills
Literacy Skills
We foster a love of reading and a familiarity with the alphabet at a developmentally appropriate level. We encourage the development of literacy skills through reading to children regularly, and through making books and the discussion of books an important part of their daily experience.
