Our Child Care Programs at South Wake Preschool & Academy

“Where Learning Begins”

Children come to us with the wonder, desire, and will to learn. Our job is to make sure they leave us with their inquisitive natures enhanced and with the discipline and tools to succeed.

Our staff here at South Wake Preschool & Academy encourages family participation. Therefore, you are welcome in the center at any time during the day, whether it is for lunch, or to observe your child in the classroom, or to speak with the teacher, just know that your involvement is welcomed.

Our Values:

• We believe that each child is a unique individual, and that we are confident that every child can learn.
• We believe in providing a physical environment that is safe, clean, healthy, and oriented to children.
• We believe parents are the most significant adults in a child’s life. We strive to create mutual respect between parents and teachers: a partnership for the benefit of the child. We encourage daily communication between parents and staff.

Family Involvement:

We believe the key to family involvement is giving families a variety of ways to be involved with the child at home and at the Academy without making them feel obligated.

The following are some of the many ways you can be involved:

• The academy’s open-door policy welcomes and encourages you to visit or call at any time.
• You are welcome to join your child for lunch at any time.
• You are invited to share a special activity or project with your child’s class.
• We encourage you to share your ideas and concerns with Academy management and faculty at any time.
