Our Programs

From first words to kindergarten ready

AFA is built around a 5-level progression system. Every child begins in Early Pre-K (Level 101) at age 16 months and advances through five intentionally designed levels, either annually or earlier when teachers and staff evaluate they are ready emotionally and academically.

Our level system honors each child's individual development pace. We do not push children forward before they are ready, and we do not hold them back when they are. Teachers and staff continuously evaluate each child's emotional readiness, language acquisition, social development, and academic foundations to determine the right time to advance.

How Children Advance

Our evaluation process is continuous and holistic. Teachers look for milestones in emotional regulation, social independence, language comprehension, and academic readiness. We partner closely with families, discussing progress regularly so that when the time comes to advance to the next level, everyone is confident the child is ready to thrive.

Tuition is transparent at AFA
