Teachers and Faculty There is a great correlation between the quality of any pre-kindergarten program and the expertise of the staff. Our Pre-Kindergarten teachers are all certified in early childhood education and have experience working with young children. Each classroom utilizes a teaching assistant with the ratio of children to teacher/teacher assistant constant at 1 to 10. In addition, we also have a full time counselor and library assistant.

Ensuring Safety The safety of the children is of vital importance to Lawton Public Schools. Children will be released to a parent or guardian upon proper identification. Safety rules will be enforced should someone other than the parent or guardian need to pick up your child. Our playground will be equipped with developmentally appropriate equipment and closely supervised at all times.

 

Our Goal

The first years of a child's formal education are the most crucial in determining future success as a student and indeeed as an adult. Our goal is to make certain that this year is positive, meaningful, and successful for each child who enters our doors. Communication between home and school is an essential component of that success. Please let us know of any concerns or questions. We welcome your involvement.

Learning Through Play

Lawton Public Schools recognizes that young children do not learn in the same manner as older children. Young children learn best through direct encounter with their world. Indeed,"play is child's work".. At Learning Tree Academy we will focus on the whole child, to include their social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and developmental growth. Our goal is to provide a program with a strong base of experiences that are essential to future learning. Our curriculum is based on the Oklahoma Pre-Kindergarten Standards. Copies are available by request.

Attendance

Regular attendance and punctuality are important to your child's school success and imperative to receive the maximum benefit of our pre-kindergarten program. Please make every effort to see that your child attends daily.

 

Parent/ Teacher Communication

On a regular basis the school will send home a newsletter. This will keep you informed as to upcoming events at the school. Teachers will provide specific information about their own class. Two parent/teacher conferences are scheduled each year, however you may call and set up a conference with your child's teacher at any time.

Parent Involvement

Any successful school program is dependent on parental involvement. Please feel free to come and visit or volunteer at any time. We encourage your participation.
