Project Imagine Academy

A branch of Little's Athletics & Education, we are a home-based young 5 prekindergarten and preschool program for children on the Bay Area Peninsula. We provide high-quality instruction that is built on positive relationships, children's interests, passions, and imagination. Our vision is to create an environment where curiosity, confidence, compassion, and community are at the center of each child's experience. We hope to instill a love of learning, confidence in taking risks, compassion for others and ourselves, and a love and care for our communities that surround and support us. Our program focuses on: School readiness for social, physical, and academic skills, social emotional education, project-based, hands-on, and student-centered curriculum, a focus on fine and gross motor development through play, and celebration of imagination and fun!

Our head teacher, Paige, has been an educator for over 10 years. She started her education journey with Galileo Learning, and has served as an elementary (K - 4th) schoolteacher at Synapse School in Menlo Park, CA for the past 9 years. She is now a Learning Specialist in the Learning Center at Synapse School to support learners with varying learning differences. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Marine Biology from University of San Diego, and her credential and Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Notre Dame de Namur University. She has just received a Certificate in Early Education Leadership from The Harvard Graduate School of Education, and is taking classes for her Director's Permit at Cañada College for Early Childhood Education. Her favorite part of teaching is getting to inspire the love of learning, curiosity, and design in others, as well as getting to laugh about something at work every single day. She loves the ocean, science, teaching young children to love science, being outdoors, silliness, playing music and singing, art, dancing, swimming, and being a general goofball!
