Specialized Programs

STEM for Early Learners

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) introduces children to foundational skills that spark curiosity and critical thinking. For example, kids can build structures with blocks or recycled materials, learning concepts of balance and design. Simple science experiments, such as mixing colored water to create new shades, teach the basics of cause-and-effect. Children can explore technology through age-appropriate interactive tools, like coding games that involve guiding a digital character through a maze. These activities encourage problem-solving and innovation, while making STEM concepts approachable and exciting for young minds.

Faith-Based Learning

Our Christian values shine through in every program we offer. Faith-based learning includes Bible storytelling sessions where children engage with scripture through colorful illustrations and dramatizations. Kids can participate in meaningful service projects, like creating cards for elderly community members or collecting items for local charities. Weekly worship time combines singing, prayer, and craft projects, such as building a Noah’s Ark diorama. By integrating spiritual growth with daily activities, children grow in compassion, kindness, and a deep understanding of Christian principles.

Nature Exploration and Gardening

Write a descripConnecting with nature helps children develop respect and awe for the world God created. Gardening activities let them plant flowers, fruits, and vegetables, teaching responsibility and patience as they watch their crops grow. Nature walks are another key element, encouraging children to observe birds, insects, and plants while discussing their role in the ecosystem. Sensory exploration might involve touching different leaves or smelling flowers to deepen their appreciation for the outdoors. This program blends environmental education with hands-on experiences that foster growth and curiosity.tion for this subheader or change it to your liking.

Creative Arts Program

Art, music, and theater open doors for children to express themselves in unique and imaginative ways. Children can create paintings, collages, or sculptures using a variety of materials, from traditional paints to natural items like leaves and twigs. Music sessions introduce simple instruments like tambourines or bells, allowing kids to explore rhythm and melody while singing songs of praise. Theater activities such as puppet shows or acting out stories teach confidence and teamwork. Creativity flourishes as children discover and celebrate their individuality through the arts

Language and Cultural Enrichment

Learning about languages and cultures expands children’s horizons and fosters a love for diversity. Introductory Spanish lessons, for example, might involve singing songs, playing games, and learning simple phrases like greetings and counting. Cultural enrichment could include themed weeks, where children explore the traditions of different countries by dressing up, sampling foods, and creating crafts inspired by global landmarks or customs. These activities not only boost language skills but also teach appreciation for the beauty of different cultures.

Life Skills Program

Practical skills are an essential part of preparing children for independence and future responsibilities. In cooking activities, children might make simple recipes like fruit salads or sandwiches while learning about healthy eating. Role-playing tasks such as setting a table, tying shoelaces, or planting seeds teach essential everyday skills. Games and exercises also focus on interpersonal skills, like practicing polite communication and working together to solve problems. This program equips children with tools to thrive both at home and in the wider world.

Mindfulness and Movement

This program emphasizes both emotional well-being and physical health. Activities such as yoga introduce stretching and deep breathing to help children find calm and balance. Movement-based classes combine music and dance, helping children improve coordination while learning to express themselves through physical motion. Quiet mindfulness exercises, like listening to soft music or reflecting on a Bible verse, encourage focus and self-awareness. By integrating movement with mindfulness, children develop healthy habits for both body and mind.

Montessori-Inspired Learning

Montessori methods focus on child-led, hands-on activities that foster independence and confidence. For example, children might work with practical tools like pouring water into cups or sorting objects by color and shape. Self-directed learning stations allow them to choose tasks based on their interests, whether it’s exploring puzzles, building with blocks, or engaging with sensory materials like sand or clay. By providing an environment that encourages exploration and autonomy, children learn at their own pace, building a foundation for lifelong learning.

High school students are preparing for adulthood and are more capable of understanding complex social issues. They can take on leadership roles within the program, serving as mentors and advocates. Addressing racism and bullying at this stage equips them with the skills and knowledge to carry these values into their future endeavors.

Kimmy D's Christian Academy offers a lot of activities. We learn about different projects, different activities, so a lot about Christ. The main reason why I like KDCA is because of Mrs. Kimmy. She has taught me many things in my life like how to write perfectly, how to use my manners and how to pray. She is the most important person in my life. She has taught me so much. She treats me like her very own. I don't know where I would be without Mrs. Kimmy. She has been truly a blessing to me. She goes beyond to get me where I am today. She makes me feel at home.
