Self-Help & Social Skills : Encourage independence, cooperation, empathy, and respect for others.
Language & Literacy : Build vocabulary, communication skills, and early literacy awareness.

Age and enrollment questions

What ages does Goomer Academy accept?

We are licensed for children from 12 months to 5 years old, across three programs: Infant, 12 to 24 months; Preschool, 2 years to 3 years 6 months; and Pre-K / TK, 3 years 6 months to 5 years.

My child is three. Preschool or Pre-K?

Under 3 years 6 months, children join the Preschool program. From 3 years 6 months, they move into Pre-K / TK. If your child is close to that line, come and visit — we will place them where they will do best.

Do you take babies under 12 months?

Our license covers children from 12 months of age, so we cannot enroll younger babies. You are welcome to join the waitlist and we will contact you as your child approaches their first birthday.

What happens when my child turns five?

Children leave our Pre-K / TK program for kindergarten. The program is built around kindergarten readiness for exactly that reason.
