Early Learning Goals
At Highmark STEAM Academy, classrooms include a lead teacher and a classroom support professional when necessary to meet guidelines for the appropriate ratio of students to teachers. We pride ourselves on our ability to stay at or under ratio at all times.
Our Programs
Infants
We provide a nurturing environment for infants to grow and thrive. Our experienced caregivers ensure that your little ones receive the attention and care they need. Our infant class is for children 2 months - 15 months of age.
2’s & 3’s
Our 2’s & 3’s classrooms nurture curiosity, creativity, and connection. Two-year-olds build confidence through communication, direction-following, and daily routines, while three-year-olds explore independence, imagination, and leadership. With a focus on social-emotional growth, character development, and faith-building, we prepare each child for the next stage of their learning journey in a loving, structured environment. Our 2's room is for children 24-30 months of age, and our 3's room is for children 30-36 months of age.
Toddlers
Our toddlers program is designed to encourage exploration, creativity, and social development. We offer a safe and stimulating environment where toddlers can learn and play. Our toddlers class is for children 15 months - 24 months of age.
Pre-K
In our Pre-K program, we blend structured learning with hands-on experiences to ensure children are well-prepared for kindergarten. Our dedicated teachers foster a love for learning in a supportive setting. Our Pre-K class is for children who turn 4 by August 1st of the academic year.
