Creating a Nurturing, Safe, and Respectful Environment
IMS Academy staff is focused on helping each child to reach their full potential. IMS Academy helps nurture the children so that they feel loved and valued. Each student matters and their educatio n to start in the best way possible with people who care about them is important. At IMS Academy the environment is not only nurturing, but also safe and respectful and without these elements present, learning and teaching are both a lot more difficult.
The highest levels of learning are only reached when a child feels safe and calm. IMS Academy staff makes sure that we hire professionals and experienced teachers to work with each student. At IMS we make sure that our staff meet all the right qualifications and must pass a background check. IMS works hard to make sure that all students feel safe and comfortable in and around our location.

AT IMSA pre-writing skills are the fundamental skills children need to develop before they can write. These skills contribute to the child's ability to hold and use a pencil, and the ability to draw, write, copy, and color. Pre-writing skills are composed of pencil strokes used when tracing or writing letters, numbers, and early drawings.
Students build on eye-hand coordination to use everyday tools. Through this process, students learn how to manipulate a variety of tools including eating utensils, pencils, scissors, blocks, etc. Students also develop motor coordination and skill using objects for a range of physical activities.
