Curriculum and Centers

Thompson Academy uses a combination of the
Creative Curriculum,
Beyond Centers and Circle Time and
Beyond Cribs and Rattles.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is approved by The Early Learning Coalition. It is play-based through the use of centers. We integrate curriculum with “center” activities to ensure proper growth in both the areas of academics and development. Not only will “center” activities reinforce the academic program, but are also important in developing emotional and social aspects of the child. Centers help children learn to make choices – giving children choices helps them to learn to make decisions and ensures that they will participate in activities that interest them. It is our goal that in every lesson prepared, we offer something for the head, something for the hands and something for the heart. Our teachers create weekly lesson plans based off monthly curriculum themes. Thompson Academy also offers enrichment programs as part of their curriculum which includes music days, yoga, and career days. Thompson Academy is proud to offer a school year program from August through May, and also offers a summer program for the months of June and July.
