ACCELERATED
KINDERKIDS
Children who are 4 years of age by September 30, 2021, may apply for our Preschool class. This class will cover the basics such as learning their ABC's, shapes, colors, numbers 1-20, writing their names, days of the week, months of the year, social skills, etc. They will follow the same themes as the other classes and it will offer them a variety of experiences that are both learning-oriented and fun at the same time. It ensures your child’s holistic growth, development,
and fosters your child’s lifelong love for learning and enhancing important social skills they need to thrive in the future.
All children will take an assessment for this class in order to see where they are at developmentally and to determine if we can meet their needs educationally. They must have an attention span to sit in a class setting for lessons that are 20-30 minutes at a time.
Must be able to verbally communicate their needs and be FULLY potty trained (No wearing pull-ups, need no assistance in the restroom, are able to dress unassisted and accident-free). Frequent accidents (whether medical or due to not being ready to potty train ) may lead to termination because we do not have the additional staff or facility to accommodate and meet their needs.
Our Accelerated Primary class is a combined Pre-K and Kindergarten class that allows children who are 4 years old by January 1, 2021, up to 6 years old to apply. The children in this class must be writing already, be mature enough to keep up with an extensive, rigorous, and fast-paced class with a varied curriculum as well as an attention span to do lessons for at least 30-45 minutes at a time. A part of their enrollment process will be to take an assessment beforehand to ensure they are ready for this type of class.
We will channel our children's
natural curiosity and enthusiasm and encourage them to explore and create work that is real and meaningful. We work to boost their problem-solving skills and instill an excitement for learning to prepare children for their future academic endeavors and success.
During this time in their development, children are yearning for independence and possess a maturity beyond their years. We realize this and work to create a stimulating and challenging environment that forms a strong cognitive base for higher learning. As the children begin to acquire more independence, they learn about making decisions for themselves as individuals and as part of a team.
Our Love, Literacy, Project, S.T.R.E.A.M.S., and Problem-Based Curricula encourage the development of a community of learners that are exposed to concepts of math, science, language arts,
character development, engineering, technology, life skills, and computer science, etc. They will also learn Multi-Cultural History which includes African American History, Native American History, Hispanic History, World History, American History, Mesozoic Era and, Medieval Times, etc.
Our Hybrid Homeschool offers a full range of S.T.R.E.A.M.S. inspired academics for our lower primary children who are in the 1st Grade to 2nd Grade. Students can attend classes on Wednesdays while the parent does the rest of the learning in their own home.
Our Hybrid Homeschool offers a rich and challenging curriculum that honors each child's individual learning styles and strengths while meeting rigorous academic standards. Our curriculum cultivates independence, initiative, and respect for the environment; it also offers hands-on learning opportunities that both deepen and extend students’ academic knowledge.
We have created a caring, respectful learning environment in which all our children can thrive. All of our programs—whether in the classroom, or our educational field days in the community—foster cooperation, creative and critical thinking, and the development of personal and social responsibility. Our teaching philosophy centers on helping our children to develop the knowledge, skills, and habits of scholarship that are critical to success in life. Instruction stresses inquiry-based learning and higher-order thinking.
We engage the children in the ongoing exercises of grappling with essential questions that guide their units of study. Our children's acquisition of increasingly sophisticated skills and methods of approaching complex issues and projects is assessed regularly.
The first step is you must submit a notarized affidavit of your intent to homeschool to the superintendent’s office of the child(ren) home county school district. Once that has been done then contact us for more information on the days and times we have available.

OVERNIGHTS
Why do many of our parents choose iPLANETS ACADEMY for Overnight Child Care? Because we live in a different time when a growing number of parents have unconventional employment schedules or may need a safe place for their children to go while they take a much-needed night off or for emergency purposes where they may need to go out of town, etc.
At iPLANETS ACADEMY, we help to remove the burden of trying to figure out who will look after your little ones by offering Overnight Child Care services in a safe home away from a home secure environment.
Our Overnight Care is for children from Preschool to 5th Grade (4 years old to 10 Years old). Other age groups may be accepted, just ask.
iPLANETS ACADEMY provides high-quality Overnight Care whether it’s a one-time drop-in, weekly, or even a weekend need, iPLANETS ACADEMY can accommodate your needs. Along with excellent care, all the children will have a delicious kid-friendly meal and or snack along with fun and educational activities. At evening rest time, we grab blankets, enjoy story-time, and say their nighttime prayers before resting overnight in an assigned twin bed or on a crib mattress. You can have peace of mind knowing your child(ren) are in excellent hands while they are away from home.
EDUCATIONAL
FIELD TRIPS
We provide weekly off-site Educational Field Trips and learning events for your child(ren) to learn hands-on. These off-site educational field trips are to help them grasp concepts and enhance their learning experience. We believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged and concepts are presented in meaningful and creative ways. Our rich and unparalleled Educational Field Trips connects the classroom to the real world and teaches our children problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Small classes and a project approach to teaching create a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Here, our children are not simply memorizing facts and taking tests; knowledge is absorbed through hands-on, experiential learning. It is also a great way for them to explore while having fun with their friends.

BEFORE AND
AFTER SCHOOL
It is important for children to have a safe and productive way to spend time Before and After School.
Latch key kids can face many risks. They may worry, eat poorly, not be protected from pedophiles, watch too much television, or neglect their homework.
Fortunately, we have a great Before and After-School program so your school-aged child from Preschool to 5th Grade (4 years old to 10 Years old) will have a place to go where they can interact with friends, learn, work on homework and relax. The program is everything you ever wanted in a safe fun experience and more!
SUMMER CAMP
iPLANETS ACADEMY Summer Camps are a safe, fun, and stimulating program designed to enrich and strengthen your child's learning abilities to discover their hidden talents and spark their creativity. Outdoor play, adventure, hands-on experience in nature, creative activities that emphasize self-expression, crazy explorations, problem-solving, imagination, and mindfulness as a means of engaging with ourselves, each other, our planet, and the world around us!
We offer crafts, experiments, water park trips, sports, and LEGO® playtime. Our children will enjoy some of their favorite activities, from making slime to painting canvases, baking and decorating cupcakes, an obstacle course, an escape room, a scavenger hunt, and more! Parents can help to prevent the dreaded academic “Summer slide” through our inclusion of science experiments, strategy activities, and reading challenges. Before the Summer ends we will give your child the opportunity to build their confidence and spirit while making lasting meaningful friendships.
Our Summer Camps are a full-day experience for children who are 6 to 10 years old. Those who were
enrolled in our Accelerated Primary class may be considered.
