The Jr. Preschool program at Tigard Children’s Academy is a continuation of the Total
Child Academic Program. Teachers set up center activities in all areas of learning
styles; Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic. Through these center based activities,
children are encouraged, assisted and have fun learning to reach the following goals and
skills:
- Develop self-esteem and independence
- Develop communication skills to express their needs, wants and feelings in appropriate ways.
- Develop an awareness of others and the world they live in.
- Begin to develop language skills, identifying letters, letters to print and print to labeling objects.
- Develop gross and fine motor skills through fun games and other teacher directed activities.
- Develop critical thinking skills for solving, understanding and applying the new concepts that are learned.
The Total Child Academic Program Curriculum in the Jr. Preschool classroom is all about creating an environment that fosters a desire to attain new information, which encourages continued curiosity for learning and the critical thinking skills to apply what is learned.
The Jr. Preschool Room staff at Tigard Children’s Academy looks forward to meeting you and your little one.
Preschool: 3 ½ through 4 ½ years
Children at this age are still working on the developmental skills they started to learn in Jr. Preschool, but at a higher level. The Total Child Academic Program center based curriculum continues to focus on challenging children to develop their skills in all areas of development; Social, Physical, Academic and through Individual Creativity.
Through the Total Child Academic Program centers, children are given opportunities to learn new concepts through hands-on activities, independent fun work sheets and working with the teacher in a small group or a one to one setting.

Pre-K: 4 ½ through 5 years
Our Total Child Academic Program goal for our Pre-K class is to create a positive learning experience that will give your child the opportunities to grow in all areas of development; Social, Physical, Academic and through Individual Creativity. In the Pre-K classroom, children continue to use the TCAP curriculum and center based rotation. Centers are more academically structured to prepare children for their next stage of development at the elementary school level.
Centers are set up to foster all learning styles; Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. The TCAP centers encourage children at this age to develop their critical thinking skills and to become more independent learners through the help and guidance of their teachers. The TCAP centers include hands-on activities, independent critical thinking work sheets and an opportunity to work with the teacher in a small group or a one on one setting.
The TCAP Pre-K curriculum is designed to promote in each child the belief that there is nothing they cannot succeed at!
The Pre-K Room staff at Tigard Children’s Academy looks forward to meeting you and your family.
Physical Education
Utilizing our large covered outdoor play area, teacher directed activities are part of our daily curriculum all year round. Offering two large size play grounds, we are able to accommodate various age groups and activities.
Music
Throughout the day, music is used to enhance each activity. It may be during dance, poetry, language development, or naptime. It may be with CD’s, or just making our own. Music is also used as a way of introducing pre-math skills through the rhythm and beats.
Art
Painting, using fine motor skills with scissors, drawing, and making collages…Our art activities emphasize the “process” not the “product”. All children experience success in art. We encourage creativity, as well as reinforcing fine motor control and learning concepts such as color, shape and texture.
Summer Program
During the summer months, we offer various in-house events and activities such as a magician, puppet theatre, reptile exhibit, hands-on science, arts and crafts, outside water play, picnics and parades.
*Additional summer fees vary based on planned activities.
