Weekly themes are provided to interest the children throughout the year. Lessons include age appropriate activities related to the theme for that week. These activities include hands on science and cooking projects, arts and crafts, language development and mathematics activities, songs and games and daily gross motor skills. Most importantly, the children will gain a sense of self worth and a love for learning along with the tools for age appropriate social skills while playing with other children. Children at Chesterfield Academy are happily geared for the future!

*Preschool education activities are what teachers use to enhance the growth of language, logic, pre-reading and counting skills of young children. These activities easily develop into active learning experiences for preschool children and enrich early childhood curriculum.
