Class Overview

Waddler
Our teachers are excited to see our infants now walking, or as we say waddling. It’s so exciting to watch how an 18-month old child uses objects to act out familiar activities like eating, drinking, and telephoning. This special program allows our waddlers to explore, walk, and use different kinds of play things.

Skills and Learning
Social & Emotional Development
Opportunities for children to spontaneously explore their world socially and emotionally is implemented through “play.” Puppets are used to express feelings, develop curiosity, enhance self-esteem and teach values. Your child will learn how to share play materials among themselves.
Language Development
A variety of fun centers are set up around the classroom to inspire the verbal correspondence between one child and another or between child and teacher. Your child will learn how to verbalize simple daily routines such as, dressing a doll, washing play dishes, or place felt pieces on a flannel board to tell a simple story.
Cognitive Development
Your child will use simple manipulative, such as three piece puzzles for body parts, or shapes. Your child will discover how to fill a container with sorted shape openings, stack and unstack blocks and develop the skills to match up a pair of like objects from a group of several different objects.
Motor Skill Development
Your child will begin to demonstrate fine and gross motor skills by pushing/pulling toys, opening/closing boxes, drinking from a cup, rolling a ball, stacking blocks and begin painting simple art projects.

My two children attended Home Away From Home academy and had an excellent pre-school education. One is now a junior in HS and one is a cadet at West Point, The US Military Academy and doing wonderful things …making positive contributions to society. I truly believe an excellent beginning…creating life learners is a major factor. Thank you. I still have their progress reports from Mrs. Phyllis. My 4 year old son told her he was a mathematician at the time. He is now studying engineering. Forever grateful
It is a great place for the kids to be in. The school teachers and owners are great. The curriculum is a great one that will keep the kids busy all the time and prepare them very well for the future. My kids loved it there and particularly my daughter. She was crying when she finished the last grade offered by the school. If you want a place for the kids to have the good foundation, this school is the place.
I am certain that the superior education my children are receiving at Home Away From Home Academy will provide them with a solid foundation for their future. Everyday I know that my children’s best interests are a primary concern.
HAFHA is a truly special place. My three children are happy, and I have seen them grow emotionally, socially, and educationally since entering the school
