Anchorage’s Signature After-School Education Program
At Northern Lights Preschool & Child Care, we understand that academic confidence and independence are foundational to lifelong learning. Our Eye Level Learning program—anchored in nationally recognized NCTM/NCTE standards—is offered as part of our after-school education in Anchorage and is ideal for students who may need extra support, academic challenge, or structured enrichment in their daily routine.
This research-based system provides students with customized instruction that meets them at their current level—known as their "eye level"—and encourages steady, self-paced progression. The program blends guided instruction with self-directed worksheets and activity-based learning in a structured, supportive environment.
The Eye Level Learning system is designed to enhance your child’s ability to learn independently, while reinforcing fundamental academic skills in math and language arts. Through diagnostic testing, students are placed at their individualized starting point and progress at a comfortable pace that promotes mastery and confidence.
Core areas of focus include early literacy, reading comprehension, arithmetic and number sense, equations, geometry, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving. Each component is delivered through high-quality materials and self-directed tasks that promote both academic achievement and executive functioning skills.
One of the core benefits of the Eye Level approach is its ability to foster self-reliance and intrinsic motivation. By placing students at the center of their learning journey, the program encourages goal setting, time management, and perseverance—all essential life skills inside and outside of the classroom.
Anchorage students enrolled in this program have access to in-class support from experienced educators, as well as optional one-on-one private tutoring for targeted instruction. Whether your child is seeking enrichment or academic support, Eye Level Learning helps them build the confidence and capacity to succeed on their own terms.
Whether your child needs extra help, seeks academic challenge, or simply thrives in structured learning, our Anchorage Eye Level program provides a personalized and proven path forward. We believe every child deserves the tools to become an independent learner—and the confidence that comes with it.
