JRA: Nursery / Pre-School

Preschool and Nursery

The nursery and preschool classes (Building 1) at Julie Rohr Academy offer a dynamic program rich in hands on experiences and performing arts opportunities. There are two nursery classes for children 18 months to 2 years. The children in the preschool classes are older 2s and 3 years old. The students are placed according to age, taking into consideration emotional and social maturity and development.

The children begin their day with circle time activities. They enjoy learning through play. The DLM Express Curriculum includes learning activities which develop verbal skills and language as well as alphabet awareness and recognition of the ABCs. They explore science and social studies concepts at topic time, and understand mathematical skills using manipulative materials. Large and small motor skills are developed through art, music and PE activities.

All children participate in the music programs presented in the fall, winter, spring and end of the year. This is a wonderful opportunity for creative expression and building self-esteem. They are adorable!

Julie Rohr Academy enjoys an extended family atmosphere. Many students are offspring of former Julie Rohr Academy students. There is open communication between the parents and staff at all times. Parents are provided with daily student reports.

Julie Rohr Academy is a member of the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Florida Kindergarten Council, and is accredited by both.

The teachers and staff enjoy nurturing, teaching and guiding each child to enjoy learning and achieve new goals each day.
