Our Curriculum
Preschool
Little Leaders in our preschool program learn their numbers and letters, and begin to apply them to basic math, reading, and writing concepts. The preschool curriculum also focuses on helping young children strengthen their social, sensory and motor skills.
Pre-K
In the pre-k program at American Leadership Academy, Applied Technologies, Little Leaders focus on preparing for kindergarten. In our kindergarten programs, we model American Leadership Academy's K-12 Core Knowledge Sequence and align our lessons to Arizona Early Learning Standards. Each of these concepts and skills help students succeed in language, literacy, social development, communication, and physical development right from the beginning, and all in a preschool near you.
