Achiever Christian Preschool 540 Sands Drive, San Jose, CA (408)264-2345
Why choose
Achiever?
Small Class Size
Plenty of one-on-one attention for everybody. Ratio of one teacher per every 12 children maximum (but the average is usually quite a bit less than that).
Academics
We learn numbers, shapes, colors, counting, and many other concepts like up/down, in/out and sequencing sizes in an age appropriate, "game playing" manner.
Spanish
We believe the children are at their most opportune age for learning languages. Our Spanish teacher uses songs and games to teach basic Spanish words in an age appropriate manner.
Cooking
Children love to cook! Measuring, mixing, following recipes, tasting and eating (yum!). It is always a favorite. We make it a point to cook delicious snacks twice a week.
Role-Playing and Dramatization
How great to pretend! Many of our activities involve role-playing opportunities.
Scientific Exploration
Opportunities abound for experimentation. Proper
hands-on materials are available so the children can explore scientific principles.
Community Involvement
Visits and interaction with community helpers are encouraged (including police officers, fire fighters, dental professionals, medical personnel, and many others).
On-Stage Performance
Our children have the opportunity at our annual Spring Sing to perform to a large group of family and friends. What a great experience and a truly memorable one for Mom and Dad, too.
Arts & Crafts
A daily occurance. Fun, fun, fun, fun! Need I say more?
Group Games
Children love to play games! Teacher created games are designed for specific learning goals and targeted to our curriculum.
Dress-up Fun:
Imagination is a big part of childhood. The children love to pretend to be super-heros, princesses, pirates, and more.
Sharing
School is a place to share and learn about each other. Communication skills, socialization and the ability to take turns are an integral part of each day.
Party Days
School party days are fun for all. What an excellent chance to learn about the traditions associated with each holiday (as well as their historical significance). Best of all is the excitement and anticipation in planning for such memorable days.
Movement & Music
Songs and music (as well as dancing with streamers, using bean bags, rhythm sticks, and bells to name a few) are important activities in helping to develop large motor skills, listening skills, the ability to follow directions, left/right discrimination, and to just have a good time!
Outdoor Play
Outstanding playground facilities are available including swings, bicycles, balls, climbing structures, slides, teeter-totters, water play tables, scooters, hopscotch, and a huge sandbox area. Our playground is fully enclosed and protected from "stranger danger".
Cooperative Play
Children work and play together. They learn about taking turns, following directions, using manners, socialization, focusing on a common goal; all while having wonderful new experiences with other children.
Parent Participation
Parent participation is always appreciated. There are numerous ways to donate your time and be a part of your child's school experience. We have various fund raisers, school activities, office assistance needs and grocery gift cards (which are such a blessing for our class cooking projects).
