At Akamai Kids Club Preschool, children enjoy a loving environment that fosters positive feelings of self-worth and respect. Social, physical, intellectual development, and a sense of independence are gained through opportunities to make decisions and problem solve. While limits are clear, a great deal of emphasis is placed on role modeling, thus teaching tools for conflict resolution. The ability to have a friend, be a friend, and manage in the group setting is highly valued, as is a stimulating environment which provides opportunities for children to interact with each other and learn more about themselves.
We have taken comprehensive steps to continually ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our student members. Keeping our student learning center safe allows children to look forward to being in an encouraging environment that promotes academic, social and creative learning.
We provide sufficient time for children to explore, learn, express and revisit a given project. Our teachers are researchers, learners and data gatherers. They will carefully observe, listen and document the children’s work and growth.

Welcome to Akamai Kids Club Preschool, where we believe in a comprehensive approach to early childhood development. Our philosophy revolves around providing a rich and diverse range of experiences that cater to children's individual needs and interests. Through a careful balance of indoor and outdoor activities, we offer a holistic learning environment that encourages both active and quiet play.
Indoors, children are engaged in a myriad of stimulating activities. They are encouraged to explore various materials, fostering self-exploration and discovery. Our dedicated art studio allows them to unleash their creativity through hands-on projects. In our science corner, they can conduct simple experiments, nurturing their curiosity and critical thinking skills. Through dramatic play, children delve into imaginative worlds, developing their social and emotional abilities. Storytime, music, and movement activities further enhance their cognitive and sensory development.
Outdoor play is equally cherished in our philosophy. We recognize the immense benefits of connecting with nature and engaging in physical activities. Our outdoor space provides a safe and inspiring environment for children to freely explore and appreciate the natural world. From running and climbing to gardening and sensory experiences, outdoor play stimulates their gross motor skills, instills a sense of wonder, and encourages a lifelong appreciation for nature.
Moreover, our philosophy emphasizes the importance of fostering friendships and cooperative play. We provide opportunities for children to share ideas, books, and toys, fostering empathy and concern for others. By promoting collaborative activities, we nurture their communication skills and teamwork abilities, preparing them for future social interactions.
