Our Philosophy

Our philosophy at Old Fountain Academy Preschool and Child Care is to provide high-quality child care by furnishing a clean, safe, and structured environment that will lead to serving our families best by giving them the most effective combination of quality child care and early learning. We pride ourselves on setting a higher standard.

Our Goal

Our goal is to provide childcare services that prepare your child for the future. We will ensure a safe and fun learning experience here at Old Fountain Academy. We also know that children do their most important learning before the age of five that is why we touch your child’s life with lots of love, attention, and all that goes along with early childhood learning. An essential part of meeting our goal is parent involvement and support.

Discovering

We begin with age-appropriate environments and activities that encourage children to learn, play, and explore. Most importantly, at the heart of every project and activity, there’s a specially trained teacher and an age-appropriate curriculum to lead the way. Kids love the hands-on experiences they get in our programs. Children need hands-on experience and teachers who will get on the floor to teach and play. Children need enthusiasm and encouragement from teachers and their families. Most of all, they need the joy and challenge of doing it themselves because that’s what helps them learn and grow.

Learning

During our educational morning program, academic lessons are introduced and completed with art projects, music, finger plays, blocks, and classroom activities. Children also enjoy exploring their classroom, learning centers, snacks, and outdoor play. Our afternoon enrichment activities enhance our already stimulating curriculum and include art and science projects, special activities, and physical fitness activities designed for muscle development. Young minds absolutely love to be challenged with age-appropriate activities that help them reach their full potential.

Infants and Toddlers Early Care

Love, nurturing, safety, security, one-on-one interaction, and a stimulating environment are all at the heart of our infant program. Our infant/teacher ratio is kept as small as possible to ensure that your child receives all the attention he or she deserves. We take our role as a daycare provider seriously to ensure each child enjoys their time at Old Fountain Academy.

Two and Three Year Olds

Two-year-olds are terrific learners, with an amazing amount of energy and an eagerness to try new things. Our curriculum program for our two-year-olds emphasizes continued verbal development and early math concepts. It also focuses on socialization skills, small/large muscle control, music, art, and dramatic play, among other fun and challenging activities for social and physical development.

Three-year-olds are eager to learn during this important developmental period. Our curriculum also focuses on self-esteem, self-worth, and developing creative and social skills. Our teachers are excellent at providing fun and challenging activities that will stimulate mind development, creativity, and physical fitness.

Private Pre-K

Preschoolers are ready with eagerness and ability to learn, we have very carefully selected our curriculum that combines exciting teacher-directed instruction with stimulating child-centered explorations. 

Our learning program gives young learners the critical skills and experiences they need to form a solid learning foundation. It fosters children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development by emphasizing skills such as reading, language, math, science, social studies, music, technology, fine/gross motor skills, and personal and social development all in a hands-on, interactive, and enjoyable way. 

Our program also meets and exceeds the requirements of the Early Reading First and No Child Left Behind Act. To ensure your child’s success in school and beyond, our literacy-based program continues to pave the way for school.

Georgia Pre-K

Georgia’s Pre-K Program is a lottery-funded educational program for Georgia’s four-year-olds to prepare children for kindergarten. Children four years of age on September 1 of the current school year who are Georgia residents are eligible to attend Georgia’s Pre-K Program this school year.

School Age Program

We offer an engaging before and after-school program for elementary school-aged children. Our school-age program goes way beyond before and aftercare. We continue our curriculum-based approach to learning and fun, helping children succeed in school. Homework help, exciting projects, outdoor play, and fun with friends make time go fast, and we provide transport to and from the following elementary schools:

• Dyer Elementary 
• Ft. Daniel Elementary
• Freeman Mill Elementary
• Dacula Elementary
• Woodward Mill Elementary

We offer school-age children a balance of downtime, structured activities, and individual hands-on exploration. It’s just what they need to unwind and stretch their minds and muscles. 

Besides offering homework assistance, teachers play Brain Games with students. These games help children practice critical thinking skills. Children can rotate with friends among learning centers planned just for them — whether it’s science, building, the arts, library, or games. Children will get plenty of exercise enjoying the outdoors, perhaps running on the playground, or playing a game of basketball.
