Bradford Academy Great Start Readiness Program believes individual children develop best in a nurturing classroom through active learning experiences. Teaching teams work to build confidence in all children in order to establish a solid foundation at their own developmental level. We foster supportive relationships with families and community partners to enrich the child’s emotional and social development. These beliefs guide our practice and provide the framework for program decisions.  

Our Pre-K classroom(s) use the research based HighScope Curriculum that aligns with Michigan’s Early Childhood Standards of Quality for Pre-Kindergarten. Curriculum areas include Approaches to Learning; Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development and Health; Language, Literacy, and Communication; Mathematics; Creative Arts; Science and Technology; Social Studies; and English Language Learners. In the HighScope curriculum, adults and children are partners in play.
