Helping those around them becomes important to them and will do anything asked as they try to gain more independence.
CHALLENGES
These little ones will at times become more demanding and competitive with others as they play, but in this age group, it is our priority to explain equality and humility. This is the last year in preschool before moving on to Kindergarten so at Springview Academy we make sure to make it special and memorable.

Our VPK Program
Children flourish in routine!
Toddlers feel confident in themselves and secure about their world when they know what to expect. Which is why we have carefully designed a routine that best fits their natural rhythm and your schedule!
*We ensure your VPK’er gets a healthy balanced meal. An example includes milk, pulled chicken with an optional sauce, corn or other vegetable, macaroni and cheese, and peaches. Yum!
