Facility

Emerson Academy is a facility that meets ADA accessibility standards, which includes six classrooms, and indoor gym/motor room and a state of the art IPEMA "CERTIFIED" playground.

Our classrooms were designed to allow more time for teachers to build emotionally supportive relationships and provide optimal learning experiences. Well-designed environments support exploration, give young children a sense of control, and enable children to engage in focused, self-directed play. Emerson Academy classrooms provide various places to explore, supporting the functional areas of development such as gross-motor activity, early literacy development, symbolic/dramatic play, manipulative play, and sensory development. Each classroom is flexible enough to support children's varying developmental abilities, including language and behavioral needs.

Our custom designed playscape was constructed using recycled plastic to create bright and colorful play spaces for our students.  It contains play panels and elements that address the capabilities of both young toddlers and preschool aged children, as well as encouraging interaction with other children and adults.  In addition, the fenced play ground area includes a tricycle path for riding vehicles, an art easel, a play house for dramatic play, and an infant play area.

Our facility also includes a large garden space where children will have the opportunity to participate in a Junior Master Gardener program. The children also interact with miniature horses, miniature goats and rabbits in our small farm where they learn valuable science and social lessons.
