Enhancing Kindergarten Readiness
Through Phonics-Based Instruction
Our award-winning Premier Pathways curriculum, designed by the academy’s owners, builds pre-writing and pre-reading skills, leading to advanced reading of sight words and word families. We also offer a specialist-led small-group reading program focusing on fluency and comprehension and a “Scholastic for Scholars” initiative that brings new magazines to the classroom, fostering a love for reading.
Fostering A Positive Attitude
Towards Math From A Young Age
We believe everyone can develop a foundational understanding, regardless of prior experiences. We aim to help your child start their math journey with wonder and openness. Music, repetition, and art teach numbers 1 to 100, plus algebraic operations and geometric concepts make math fun and accessible for all.
Engaging Experimental Learning
For Your Budding Pre-Kindergartner
We spark curiosity and love for science by engaging your young learner through hands-on experiments and activities that ignite their senses. Our one-to-one approach ensures personalized learning experiences that cater to their interests. They can’t wait to dive deeper into topics like the human body, earth, space, and the animal kingdom!
Building Confidence &
Resilience From The Start
We lay the foundation for kindergarten readiness by nurturing self-esteem and independence in our young learners. Educators focus on emotional intelligence, teaching children to recognize and manage their emotions, including separation anxiety and self-identification. As they prepare for kindergarten, they learn respect and responsibility to help them thrive in a changing environment with new teachers and peers.
Imagination & Creativity
In The Modern Classroom
Teachers prioritize arts-based learning to spark imagination and creativity in students. They encourage self-expression through various forms of art, including painting, music, and performance. They also integrate art projects with academic subjects like science, math, and language arts to help your child connect and develop their critical thinking skills.
Harmonizing Learning With
Songs, Rhymes, & Poetry
Music profoundly impacts young minds, evoking emotions and memories that can instantly lift their mood. We harness this power to stimulate our students’ cognitive development through songs, rhymes, and poetry. By incorporating music into daily routines, your little one forms connections and builds a strong foundation for emotional intelligence and creative expression.
Moving, Learning, & Growing
Together For Holistic Development
Educators incorporate physical fitness, yoga, and active play into their students’ routines to help build strength, coordination, and gross motor skills. This improves their physical abilities and boosts their confidence and self-esteem. Our state-of-the-art playgrounds and special guest appearances offer an engaging environment that fosters a lifelong love of movement and healthy habits.

We started at PLA in September 2023 after months of trying to find a pre-k program that worked for our son and our family. We decided on PLA after doing a tour and seeing how happy the students and teachers were. They offer small class sizes and have a great well rounded curriculum. My son will be in a great spot entering kindergarten. This school offers a lot of fun activities and event for the students and families. The teachers are amazing and truly care about the students as a whole. My son has made lifelong friends and we will miss PLA so much!

Premier Learning Academy is THE best day care and school. The teachers and staff are consistent in an industry with high turnaround. You can tell the teachers and staff love where they work and it reflects in the kiddos. My son has grown tremendously being there, so much so he will be starting kindergarten early! I wish we could stay at PLA forever!

Our Daughter has been attending PLA for 2.5 years and will now be moving on to kindergarten. She has blossomed into such a confident little lady. Teachers and staff here have always loved on our little and made us and her feel safe and cared for. She has learned so much academically and will be entering into kinder with beginning reading and math skills, which as an educator myself.. is amazing. We love it here so much that our baby girl will be attending in the fall 🙂

PLA!!!!! My heart is so full of emotions! This is so so so amazing and such an amazing feeling as a parent to feel that much safer while my kids are there! The most amazing and safe environment for my children! I can’t recommend them highly enough! They care about every single child and not just the teachers, the directors are just as involved. My child knows every staff member there because they are so friendly and involved with each class. Just when I think I couldn’t love this school anymore, they amaze me with something else.
