At Summerfield Academy, it always has and always will be about the children. They learn through active exploration and involvement in a thematic, literature-based curriculum. Each age group has its own literature-based curriculum specifically geared to the age-appropriate developmental skills of children. The teachers select books on which to develop the lesson theme and utilize the stories to present concepts pertinent to the class. Incorporated in the curriculum are opportunities for music, creative art, learning centers, directed activities, and outdoor fun.
Summerfield teachers facilitate the learning process by creating a wide variety of environments for your child to explore and experience, building year over year.
