Parents,

​If you’re looking for everything under one umbrella, Franklin is your answer.  We know how busy life is and we have a program that can fill your needs.

​

Franklin Academy offers a unique preschool experience that incorporates both the cognitive and physical experiences we know are needed to bring up a well-rounded, well-educated child. Because we are part of the Franklin Athletic Club, we can provide certified, experienced teachers as well as a complete enrichment program to meet the needs of the whole family.

​

Our mornings are spent in the classroom learning the academic and social skills needed to get your child ready for their elementary school career. Our afternoons provide the children with enrichment classes that promote both academic and physical experiences.

It is our goal to be positive partners in your child’s education and we know that home to school communication will be an important part of developing a rewarding year for your child. Each classroom is equipped with an iPad for communications through the Preschool 2 Me App.

​

Preschool 2 Me is a parent app that can be downloaded to any device. It allows our parents to see updates from the day in real-time as teachers share pictures of activities throughout the day. Preschool 2 Me will also be used for lesson plan sharing, class newsletters, and management communication.

Preschool Program

Preschool is an important component to a child’s development and overall education.  There is enormous social, conceptual, emotional, linguistic, and motor growth during the first five years of a person’s life. 

 

The Preschool Program at Franklin Academy has been created to nurture the development of our young students.  We strive to create an environment which is stimulating and challenging but allows individual creativity and development.

​

Franklin Academy believes that children go through similar stages of development, but at individual rates.  They learn through their senses (seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling).
 
Active involvements such as exploring, playing, manipulating, and problem solving are experiences we strive to provide to our children.  Because they learn through these experiences, the value of play is cherished and encouraged.  Through the mixture of play and guided lessons, children create their own meaning and learning patterns.
