A Day in the Life at Anchorpoint Academy
At Anchorpoint Academy in Virginia Beach, our early childhood programs provide engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that support children. Daily routines focus on social-emotional growth, early language development, motor skills, creativity, and confidence—building a strong foundation for school readiness and lifelong learning.
Comprehensive Early Learning
We help children strengthen cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and communication skills through engaging, hands-on learning.
Social Emotional Development
We nurture how children think, explore, and discover, helping them build essential skills in problem-solving, memory, reasoning, and decision-making.
Cognitive Development
We help children understand their emotions, build empathy, form meaningful relationships, and develop important self-regulation skills.
Physical Development
We support the growth of both fine motor skills—using small muscles in the hands and fingers—and gross motor skills—strengthening larger muscles in the arms and legs.
Language Development
Our program helps children develop strong communication skills, from understanding language to expressing ideas through words and actions.
Early Foundations for Growing Learners
From our Twos Program through Preschool, children build essential early-learning skills in a warm, play-based environment. Young learners explore sensory activities, practice emerging language, and develop early social-emotional understanding through guided routines. Teachers support growing independence, curiosity, and foundational motor skills—creating a nurturing start that encourages confidence, comfort, and joyful learning.
Purposeful Exploration and Pre-Academic Readiness
Our Pre-K and Kindergarten Programs offer an engaging blend of structured learning and hands-on discovery. Children strengthen early literacy and math concepts, problem-solving abilities, and social interaction through thoughtfully designed activities. With creative projects, routines that build responsibility, and opportunities for independent thinking, students develop the academic and social skills needed for a smooth transition into elementary school.
Building Strong Skills for Elementary Success
In 1st through 3rd Grade, students deepen their understanding of core subjects while continuing to grow socially and emotionally. Through collaborative learning, creative expression, and individual support, children strengthen reading comprehension, writing, math fluency, and critical thinking. Our approach nurtures confidence and curiosity, helping each student thrive both academically and personally as they progress through the early elementary years.
Extended Learning, Enrichment, and Adventure
Our Before & After Care and Seasonal Camps provide enriching opportunities beyond the school day. Students enjoy structured activities, creative projects, outdoor play, and social connection in a safe, supportive environment. These programs offer flexibility for families while giving children fun, meaningful experiences that extend their learning and build lasting friendships.
