The Finest Education Begins Here
Learning Begins At Our Academy
When it comes to educating children, Ballancrest Academy proudly exceeds all state and national standards. Using a ScienceStart! curriculum with the incorporation of NC Foundation for Early Learning and Development standards, we have become the leader in advanced preschool education in our local area.
Our facility is strategically nestled away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, yet still close to everywhere you need to be. We are fully equipped with bright, beautiful classrooms suitable for the many activities geared around our hands-on science curriculum and an outdoor play area specially designed to foster interactive play.
Classrooms and Tuition Rates
Our classrooms are structured by age and led by Degreed, caring, and extensively experienced teachers. We maintain small class sizes and low teacher-to-student ratios, so we can focus on each child's individual development. Lessons focus on cognitive skills, music, language building, science and social studies, and physical education. Our implementation of a smartboard system allows for the incorporation of technology. Tuition rates are based on age/classroom/schedule as follows:
Monday to Friday Tuition Schedule:
