Plato Pre-K Program

MISSION
Plato Academy’s Pre-School was founded on the philosophy that all students are entitled to the best education possible. Plato Academy Pre-School is an independent part of our charter school. Each student must apply and be accepted for enrollment.  Our Pre-School provides a self-contained, structured environment for all students.

Our mission is to challenge each student through logical and creative thinking skills.  Our program is structured to give each student the solid foundation of core values, and key educational components needed to prepare them for the next level of their education. We provide an accelerated academic program that challenges them to excel at learning.

For the success of each student our program will require the support of parents, community, administrators, and our highly qualified teachers. We strive to create an environment in which all students are cherished and develop memories of compassion, inspiration and affirmation. We further believe that the ultimate learning environment must be full of excitement and fun for all students.

CURRICULUM
Our caring, experienced, highly qualified teachers are dedicated to providing a rich, nurturing environment that will prepare your student for kindergarten. We promote independence in an organized atmosphere, with a daily structured program. We also teach students to work well within a group through listening, sharing and cooperation. We use an accredited curriculum in the classroom to get the students prepared for the next level of education and to challenge each student to their fullest potential. We combine music, imagination, and play with our Harcourt Math and Pearson Reading Curriculums.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
We believe all students are entitled to an optimum learning environment free of disruption.  We model respect, kindness, and caring for each other and the environment.  Positive discipline and guidance is used at all times. We will talk with the students about their behavior, redirect the student, model positive behavior and encourage students to use their problem solving skills to come up with appropriate solutions.  We work very closely with parents to reinforce what is learned at school.

In addition to our own rules, policies and procedures, the school operates in full compliance with the Early Learning Coalition (ELC), Florida Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK), Pinellas County License Board (PCLB), and Coordinated Child Care (CCC), guidelines.

Parents and students must affirm that they will abide by all policies, procedures, rules, and guidelines of Plato Academy as a condition of enrollment.
