Programs
The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Infant Program
The Infant program works on the specific needs of the baby including tummy time, songs, stories and fine and gross motor play. They are committed to providing your child with a loving and nurturing environment. Teachers plan developmentally appropriate activities to stimulate your baby's growth.
Infant teachers work with families with the schedule they wish to have for their baby to follow. Teachers record all infants daily activities on a sheet they will go home with them at the end of the day. This sheet includes all diapering, food and play time fun that your child experienced for that day.
Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten
There program combines theme-based curriculum with Phonics and Montessori methods. They feel that by combining these teaching methods we help create an atmosphere where children can all become successful learners. Each classroom keeps an individual portfolio that is updated weekly to track students progress.
The classrooms are sectioned into learning centers allowing children to freely use materials related to theme, interest and skills. Teachers conduct small group lessons and group children by the particular skill they are developing. Students who are starting to show signs of beginning reading will be encouraged to do so and with materials that suits their own individual needs.
Kindergarten
Up Up and Play’s Kindergarten program offers a small class size with one or two experienced teachers. This allows for a great deal of one on one attention and each child is able to progress at their own pace. They take great pride in modeling cooperation, honesty, and respect. Children at Up Up and Play Academy learn these values as well as responsibility, sharing and caring for the environment.
