EXTRACURRICULAR CLASSES
Infant Program
(6 weeks to 12 months)
At Premier Christian Academy, we believe that you’re never too young to benefit from early childhood education. That’s why our infant program in Northlake serves babies as young as 6 weeks old, providing them with the tools they need to prosper in this important stage of development.
Children’s brains develop rapidly during their first year of life. Every experience they encounter creates brand new neural connections in their brain, allowing for rapid cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and motor development. The best way to nourish this growth is by nourishing a close relationship between the caregiver and child. That’s why it’s essential to choose a reputable infant care program with trained educators when it comes to giving your baby a healthy future.
At Premier Christian Academy, our professional child care providers spend hours every day nurturing infants through talk, play, and even song, in order to stimulate brain growth and provide them with a sense of emotional security.
Beginning early childhood education from as young an age as possible is not only good for children’s neurological health, but also their physical health. According to recent studies, enrolling your child in child care from infancy can help boost their immunity.
At Premier Christian Academy, our cornerstones are psychology, growth, and faith. That’s why we make sure that each and every infant in our care is treated with the love and attention they deserve. We use the Abeka curriculum to introduce them to Christian values, creating the foundation for a lifelong commitment to God. If you’re a new parent who is looking to enroll your little one in the best infant child care in the area, get in touch with Premier Christian Academy in Northlake today.
Toddler Program
(1 to 2 ½ years of age)
Finding the right child care provider for your toddler doesn’t have to be difficult. At Premier Christian Academy, we offer a toddler program that your little one is sure to look forward to day after day. Our God-centered approach to early childhood education means that not only will your toddler be learning essential cognitive, emotional, social, and gross motor skills, but they will also be developing the bedrock for a lifelong love of God.
All of our teachers are kept up-to-date on the latest advances in early childhood education research, so that they can help your toddler make the most out of their formative first few years. During toddlerhood, children reach many developmental milestones, such as learning how to walk, talk, use the potty, and play with others. At Premier Christian Academy, we understand that all children do not develop at the same rate. That’s why we treat each and every toddler in our care as they individual that they are, and encourage their growth at a pace that seems appropriate.
Our toddler daycare program includes a number of fun, structured activities, such as circle time, outdoor play, blocks, puzzles, art, large motor, yoga, math, reading, finger paint, and more. While these activities may seem like simple diversions, they actually help your child develop essential skills, such as learning empathy, basic communication, and how to share with others. You’ll be amazed at all the new knowledge your toddler will share with you when they come home from child care. They will want to tell you about everything from colors, to shapes, to letters of the alphabet. At Premier Christian Academy, we know that you’re never too young to develop an academic worldview. By teaching toddlers basic math concepts, phonetics, vocabulary, and more, our early childhood educators will help prepare your child for kindergarten and beyond.

Preschool Program
(3 years of age)
Preschool provides a safe environment for children to grow, learn basic academic skills, and gain a sense of who they are.

When it comes to finding the right preschool for your child, it’s essential to choose a program that has a proper balance of work and play. Research has consistently shown that play is essential for helping to develop children’s cognitive, emotional, social, linguistic, and gross motor skills. Play teaches children so much more than just how to have fun. It increases dexterity, encourages emotional resilience, and teaches them how to interact with the world around them.
On the other hand, it’s important to incorporate learning into an early childhood education program. At Premier Christian Academy, we believe that we’ve found the perfect solution in early education. In addition to structured playtime, every day includes introductory lessons in science, math, reading, and more.

Your child will come home from our program feeling nurtured, entertained, and knowledgeable.
Our preschool program includes a number of fun and stimulating structured activities for your child to partake in, such as our state of the art technology lab, art studio, circle time, reading, singing, outdoor play, science tables, Indoor Gymnasium and more. Our staff makes sure to keep each day varied and exciting, so that your child will constantly stay engaged and look forward to coming to preschool. In addition, we ensure that preschool students engage in social activities on a daily basis, so that they learn how to communicate with others, share their belongings, develop empathy, and make friends.

Before And After School Program
(5 to 12 years of age)
At Premier Christian Academy, we’re more than just a preschool. In addition to early childhood education, we offer a before and after school program for children up to 12 years old. This program is a great option for parents who work late and need a safe environment for their children, as well as parents looking for high-quality, God-centered child care for their child outside of school hours.
With over 50% of American households having two working parents, it’s no wonder why before and after school programs have become an industry in their own right. At Premier Christian Academy, however, we treat your child as more than just a number. In addition to providing homework help and healthy snacks, we also help give them the social and moral skills they need for lifelong success.
School today isn’t like it used to be. With academic pressure and bullying on the rise, school can be a stressful, even scary place for many children. Premier Christian Academy can provide your child with a safe, nurturing environment in the hours before or after school. When you enroll your child in our Northlake program, you can rest easy knowing that they are in a space where they are truly valued. Not only will they get help dealing with academic and social pressures, but they will also have the opportunity to develop valuable new friendships outside of school.
The hours before and after school don’t have to be aimless. By enrolling your child in Premier Christian Academy, you can ensure that your child uses this time productively by doing homework, engaging in physical activity, and taking some time to relax. Just like adults, children need down time after a busy day, and Premier Christian Academy provides them with an opportunity to unwind after a long day of learning.

Extracurricular Classes
Are you looking to add some variety to your child’s day? Extracurricular activities are a great way to introduce children to new hobbies, skills, and subject areas that they may not encounter in school. They also provide a fun yet practical break in your child’s routine, giving them some to relax and get to know themselves and their interests. In addition, extracurricular activities provide an opportunity for children to form friendships outside of school with those with similar interests.
At Premier Christian Academy, we use the acclaimed Abeka curriculum to provide your child with structured, God-centered childcare. The Abeka curriculum uses a range of different activities such as puppetry, art, computers, storytelling, and more to create an interactive learning environment. In addition, we also regularly bring out the bouncy castle — a beloved Premier Christian Academy tradition that allows children to exercise, interact, and have fun!

Each instructor goes through a comprehensive vetting process, including a background check, to ensure that they have the skills and commitment needed to ensure your child’s success.
