The mission of KC’s Academy of Early Childhood Education Talented and Gifted Private School is to continually improve the learning environment to empower all students to achieve personal excellence. The vision of KC’s Academy of Early Childhood Education Talented and Gifted Private School is to be renowned for its progressive curriculum and innovative instructional practices. This vision is centered on creating an environment dedicated to empowering all students to achieve individual excellence. Our teaching practices are both reflective and responsive to the needs of our students. Through diversified experiences, our students discover their potential, achieve readiness for the next academic and succeed in a safe and caring environment. This excitement will be fostered by: Safe, Clean School environment, State of the Art Teaching Resources, Advanced Technology, Community Partnerships, and Financial Stability. KC’s Academy has two separate infant rooms, each designed specifically for your infant’s development. All of our staff members are trained in the field of infant care, are CPR and First Aid certified, and are well-versed in policies specific to KC’s Academy including taking anecdotal notes on your child’s progress, sanitation of all mouthed toys and communicating with parents daily. C’s Academy knows that toddlerhood is an incredibly important time in your child’s development (and an incredibly fun and challenging one!). It’s a time when language, social, cognitive, and physical skills are growing exponentially. Toddlers are constantly learning and they use all of their senses to explore the world around them. Our teachers help encourage their curiosity by providing a safe, loving and active learning environment. At KC’s Academy we believe in focusing on developmental stages rather than chronological age. At this stage of development preschoolers are beginning to extend their world, making new friends, and trusting new caregivers. They become even more aware of the world around them and delight in interacting and experimenting with their surroundings. They gain independence and self-control. They express themselves and their new ideas using new words. Their vivid and creative imaginations are taking flight and they are bursting with excitement at all the possibilities! And so are we!

Integrated Mandarin

5811 S. Ellis Chicago, IL

19 mi

Integrated Mandarin incorporates Mandarin learning into your child's school curriculum. Students encounter the knowledge they learn in class in Mandarin simultaneously--and apply it immediately to their homework. Integrated Mandarin is developed by an University of Chicago alumnus with years of experience as an editor and education consultant in Beijing. It is based on the principle that achieving full language fluency requires meaningful engagement outside of the classroom. It recognizes at the same time that independent study suffers from the lack of contextual relevance, leaving students with minimum vocabulary and little intuition for how to navigate real world communication even after years of study. Integrated Mandarin is designed specifically to expose students to Mandarin within the structure and context created by their academic education. By reinforcing their day curriculum in Mandarin, student learn to think in a truly bilingual manner about the ideas they are encountering in their daily course of study. Competitively priced with regular child care, Integrated Mandarin includes after-school transportation to the University of Chicago campus site and has a flexible schedule to allow all learners to move at their own pace.
