Preschool
Gig Harbor Academy’s preschool is a fully-licensed emergent curriculum-based program. Emergent learning allows each student to learn as a result of their own doing. GHA recognizes that each child is unique and has his or her different learning styles. The program promotes developmentally appropriate practices and provides opportunities for social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth. Gig Harbor Academy provides an environment where children can play, inside the classroom and outside in the Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom®, develop their own ideas, formulate opinions and discover the world around them.
Preschoolers’ days are filled with a combination of activities including music, physical education and Spanish instruction.
