Toddler Childcare (18 months to 27 months of age)

Our goal in the Toddler Class is to develop the children’s minds & bodies and foster their self-help, language, and socialization skills.  The Toddlers follow a daily routine that includes playtime, circle-time, reading, art, lunch, nap time, and music & movement.  A large emphasis throughout the day is placed on fostering the children’s self-help skills and independence, including feeding oneself, following directions, drinking from a cup, sharing, cleaning-up, using their words to fulfill their needs, and potty-training for those who are ready. On the academic front, the kids are learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, Spanish, and Sign-language, and undertake healthy cooking projects, sensory activities, birthday celebrations, holidays, and multicultural activities.

Two’s Class (Two to three years of age)

In the Two's class we continue developing the children’s self-help and social skills while introducing more academics to the curriculum.  The children begin recognizing, writing, and pronouncing each letter of the alphabet using the Zoophonics© program.  They also learn to recognize, write, and count the number 1 through 10.  In addition to their ABCs, we involve them in daily reading, art, music & movement, Spanish, and playtime.  Throughout the month, the children engage in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Math) projects and also dive into a monthly theme, such as dinosaurs, outer space, or the human body.  Additionally, birthday parties, holidays, and multicultural activities are celebrated throughout each month.

 Three's Class (Three to Four years of age)

This class promotes skills needed to succeed & thrive in pre-kindergarten and beyond, including listening, expanding ones’ attention span, cooperating with friends, being a helper, and mastering small motor skills such as cutting with scissors and holding a pencil correctly.  Academically, the children work on writing and identifying their first and last name, writing and pronouncing all uppercase letters, writing and identifying the numbers 1 through 20, and counting to 30. Throughout the month, the children engage in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Math), lots of creative arts projects, and also dive into a monthly theme (ex. dinosaurs) that they study in detail.  Additionally, birthday parties, holidays, and multicultural activities are celebrated throughout each month.

Pre-Kindergarten Class (Four to Five years of age)

Our PreKindergarten class fosters academic, social, and emotional growth, to ensure that graduating students meet or exceed both public and private school admission requirements for Kindergarten, and have a sense of confidence when they begin their academic adventure outside of Future Stars Academy.  The class also promotes independence, team-work, problem solving skills, improved attention span, public speaking, and following multiple directions.  Academically, the children learn to identify, sound-out, and write the entire alphabet (lower & uppercase); identify, write, and count from 1 to 100; learn simple addition and subtraction; practice sequencing & patterns; and recognize beginning, middle, and ending sounds in small words, and identifying sight-words.  Throughout the month, the children work extensively on STEAM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math) projects.  Birthday parties, holidays, and multicultural activities are celebrated throughout each month.

Kindergarten Class (Five to six years of age)

Our goal in Kindergarten is to nurture the scholars' love of learning through a fun, engaging, diverse, and individualized curriculum.  The small class size helps children discover and develop their passions, nurtures the areas that need attention, and sets the children on a path of success in elementary school and beyond.  Progress will be made toward reading fluency, addition-subtraction, working with the scientific method, and broadening their understanding of the communities and cultures around them through hands-on learning and field trips.
