ADVANTAGES

Our Facility

Spring Hill Academy is a state-of-the-art facility that was custom-designed to provide ample space for your child to learn, play, and grow. Our facility was designed with safety in mind so we utilize thick, safety glass walls and doors in the center to further give your children the security to explore. As an added bonus, the glass walls allow an abundance of natural sunlight into the center. We also utilize the ZONO system (chemical free and eco-friendly) in our center to sanitize and clean all toys and materials to promote healthier, happier learning! 

Safety and Security

Safety is our number one priority at Spring Hill Academy. We equip all classrooms and hallways with security cameras and have secured outside entrances, allowing only authorized staff and parents/guardians into the center. To assist other visitors or guests, we always have a friendly-face at the front desk!

Our Playground

We have a custom-built playground for the enjoyment of all children enrolled in Spring Hill Academy. Our center has 3 separate, age-group specific playgrounds that utilize synthetic grass (otherwise known as "turf") for allergen-prevention and are a softer, safer, and cleaner alternative to natural grass. Each playground is designed to promote active play with each age-group's developmental goals in mind to encourage physical growth and gross motor skills.

Curriculum

STREAMin³ is pronounced “stream in three.” Our name describes our impact. STREAM stands for part of the skills we focus on: Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math.

The “in three” part of our name refers to three words that begin with “in” and describe the relationship part of our curriculum: Integrated, Intentional, Interactions.

The STREAMin³ Curriculum focuses on five Core Skills that form the building blocks for later learning and six STREAM Skills to help children prepare for the academic demands of kindergarten.

In addition we also integrate sign language into all our classrooms, catering to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. We believe in the importance of incorporating sign language into our curriculum to facilitate communication for children."

We also utilize Hooked on Phonics approach in our preschool curriculum. Hooked on Phonics provides a solid foundation for literacy skills it uses a sequential, systematic synthetic phonics approach to teach children how to read. It starts by building phonemic awareness, which is essential for recognizing individual sounds in words.

Boo Boo Room

The Boo Boo Room is a specially-designed, separate space for students who are feeling under the weather and offers them a place to rest without distraction while waiting for their parent/guardian to pick them up. This allows them a quiet space for the child to lay down and relax without disrupting their classmates' schedules.
