Why
Should You Choose
Holdheide Academy?
- The school
has heated carpeted
floors throughout
the building
so that there
are never drafts
for any child.
- Water and air
filtration systems
are utilized
throughout the
building.
- Teethers and
toys are sanitized
in a dishwasher
on a sanitized
wash, not sprayed
with chemicals.
- The toys that
were chosen are
beautiful wooden
toys, many from
Europe, to allow
the children
to experience
the textures
of real things,
and allow their
imagination to
start contemplating
the many possibilities.
- Mobile baby movement monitors for all babies 6 weeks through 4 months add a further
layer of protection against SIDS - www.snuza.com
- The curriculum,
implemented in
every room, including
the infants,
is second to
none with language
and math readiness,
science, music
and art taught
to each level
every day.
- We have certified
teachers in every
uppper classroom and have
contracted specialists
available. A
child psychologist
helped us choose
developmentally
appropriate color
schemes for each
room, occupational
therapists helped
us choose toys
that would integrate
sensory motor
into everyday
learning.

- Fine and gross
motor specialists
helped us design
two incredible
age appropriate
playgrounds,
both of which
are encased with
a misting system
which lowers
the temperature
twenty degrees.
- The school will
provide transportation
to children’s
ballet and karate
lessons, and
piano lessons
will be taught
at the school.
- Well visits
to the doctor,
dentists and
chiropractor
will also be
provided, as
well as fantastic
field trips to
the Children’s
Museum, Fox Theater,
High Museum of
Art, and Fernbank.
Other guest speakers
have also been
invited into
the school to
expose the children
to cultures from
around the world
including a Japanese
Tea Ceremony,
Zulu Naming ceremony
and a Navaho
Native American
Eagle ceremony
and puppeteers,
the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra, musicians
and story tellers
will also be
sharing their
talents.
- Recognizing
that no two children
learn in the
same way, or
at the same rate,
every child is
moved up through
the classrooms
according to
developmental
and social readiness,
not necessarily
age limits.
- Our curriculum
is always modified
to accommodate
each child’s
learning style
and potential
with a full academic
program (8:15
– 4:15),
with clearly
defined subjects
which are presented
in learning centers
that a child
experiences in
a hands-on approach
using fun, game
like activities.
- Spanish
is offered
twice a week
to our students
and they are
exposed to classical,
jazz and new
age music as
well as art,
architecture,
sculpture, painting
and weavings.
- Low student to
teacher ratios
(four to one during learning centers)
- The highest
levels of security
(10 security
cameras cover
the entire building
and an individual
id code is issued
to each parent
in order to access
the facility)
- Fresh and healthy
food, (hormone
free milk, breads,
cookies, granola,
and muffins which
are free of enriched
products)
- Certified Teachers in upper classrooms; wonderfully experienced teachers in lower
classrooms.
- A commitment
to giving your
child the best
possible start
in life.
