BACKGROUND

So you're interested in other Education options for your child; we may already be more alike than you know! My name is Paige Christoff and I am a mother of three girls with an undeniable passion to do what I can to make the world a better place. I hold a bachelor's degree in Environmental Design from the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay, have over 10 years of experience in the Early Education field and have been running a successful Private Preschool called Little Sprouts Academy for over 3 years. Little Sprouts Academy grew out of a desire to create something I felt was necessary for the developmental needs of all children including my own! Our preschool's curriculum is based on the highly researched Montessori Method, which focuses on a prepared environment as a second teacher. During these 3 years we have received a copious amount of community support and interest in a like-minded school for students past preschool. We are very excited to announce that we are now offering a new option for Elementary Education in the Green Bay area: New Leaf Prep Academy!

"We're not just another school,

I can promise you that."

NEW LEAF PREP ACADEMY VISION

New Leaf Prep Academy’s Curriculum focuses on the whole child through highly researched, hands on teaching philosophies and techniques, mainly the Montessori Method. Hands-on learning is a proven way to keep students more engaged and increase retention. 

 

"curating critical thinkers, problem solvers, & self-motivated learners."

 

Our curriculum helps students to make sense of the world around them without gaining skills at the expense of actual knowledge. Our holistic approach to learning examines all avenues that will affect lifelong student success including each child’s academic skills, such as math and literacy skills, but also their social, emotional and cognitive skills. A minimalist environment free of technological distractions aids in calming student's mind and body and enables them to focus on the lessons and material at hand. New Leaf Prep Academy features low teacher to child ratios maxing out at 1:18 so students can safely learn through trial and error. Sensory-based and self-directed learning through nature exploration is a major component of our programming in addition to learning practical life skills such as tieing shoes and caring for one's environment.

​

Our classrooms, indoor and out, act as a second teacher with carefully chosen developmentally appropriate works and self-correcting materials which are organized to support maximum growth and exploration in a diverse range of fields cohesive with the traditional Montessori Method. In addition these works and self-correcting materials accommodate the developmental needs of each individual student within the classroom allowing them to learn and grow at their own pace and according to their own interests. All aspects of our curriculum will be carried out in a toxic-free, natural minded environment with very limited use of technology.
