Dear Parent (s),
Thank you for your interest in TerraNichol Academy Of The Arts. We know the choice of a preschool is hard, as you want to start your child’s education on the right track. Don’t panic! It is not a Harvard versus Yale decision. The fact you are concerned means your child will be in good hands no matter which preschool you choose. Here is some information to make your choice easier.

TerraNichol Academy Of The Arts uses a creative arts based teaching structure to bring out a child’s natural interest in learning. The Arts allow children to think creatively, to build their own ideas, to solve problems in more than one way and try new things.

Our teaching staff gives the children opportunities to have live experiences with professional visual and performing arts enrichment classes. Professionally trained teachers/artists help children feel positively about themselves and their experiences with the visual arts and performing arts, whether it is sculpture, painting drawing, scrap booking, music, drama, creative movement, photography or dance.       

A nurturing, creative environment instills self-confidence and positive feelings about school, which last a lifetime. Fields trips, gardening, science and discovery activities, gymnastics, yoga, karate, playground time, parachute play, and many and varied classroom choices are also part of the preschool program. At this age, children don’t like to sit too long. Physical and Mental freedom influences a child’s ability to grow and learn.

In order to help children develop some of the basic transition skills needed as they continue their educational careers, we offer Half-day and Full-day programs.  At TerraNichol Academy Of The Arts we know children learn more and learn faster when they develop their skills in a creative environment. The environment of creativity and activities appropriate for the preschool child’s development helps children to be ready for academics in elementary school. Our approach to preschool education promotes free expression, is an outlet for creativity and encourages creative thinking and problem solving. 

Sincerely,

Terra Tominelli                                                       Michelle Messier
