Preschool Program at Sanctuary of Wilmington Academy in Wilmington, NC

Preschool

4 year Olds - Kindergarten Age

Children are growing and adapting at rapid rates so our staff is guided to be flexible and assess each child individually. Our placement in a specific program is based on developmental assessments and not specifically on chronological age. Although example ages are listed as a "guideline" for each of our programs, promotion to the next program age group is up to the discretion of Sanctuary of Wilmington Academy and not necessarily by your child's birth date.

In classes, children continue to grow intellectually, physically, and emotionally as they cultivate self-care and social habits. Teachers work closely with the students and institute both team building techniques and private instruction using effective hands-on materials.

At this stage, our daily routine becomes a little more structured to start introducing our preschool aged children concepts that they will be required to know in Kindergarten.

What to Bring

Preschoolers should have at least one change of clothing. Everything should be clearly labeled with the child’s full name. We recommend comfortable and washable clothing and shoes that can be managed by the child. Most of our art supplies are washable but sometimes they do not come all the way out of clothing. We will do our best to protect your child’s clothing but there may be times when clothing may get stained. Please do not send your child in clothing that you do not mind getting dirty.

Activities & Learning

At Sanctuary of Wilmington Academy, our preschool curriculum teaches critical lessons and sets the foundation for children to embark on their upcoming path through elementary school. Games, playtime, and activities will cover various materials in math, literacy, science, creative arts, and the alphabet (recognition & sounds).

In addition to the daily work in the classroom, students will also enjoy social time during lunch, free play, outside time, group projects, and exclusive school-related events. The program ensures the day is full of activities to stimulate the children and instill an organized, structured routine. This leads to students’ ability to follow a routine, anticipate events, and manage expectations.
