A Day in the Life at Dr. Hayes Educates

At Dr. Hayes Educates, we believe every child deserves more than just a classroom — they deserve a learning community where they feel known, celebrated, and inspired to grow. Our K–5 hybrid learning program is designed to give your child a truly personalized, research-based education that meets their needs academically, socially, and emotionally.

​

What Your Child Will Experience

  • Warm Welcome: Each morning starts with smiles, handshakes, and our Community & Character Circle, setting a positive tone for the day.

  • Hands-On Learning:

  • In our Phonics Playground, your child will explore reading using Orton-Gillingham (Structured Literacy), building strong foundational skills through multisensory, research-based instruction.

  • In Making Meaning, they’ll dive deep into reading comprehension with CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts) and Making Meaning, bringing the Science of Reading and Scarborough’s Reading Rope to life.

  • In Writer’s Lab, they’ll become confident communicators using The Writing Revolution, integrating writing and grammar across all subjects.

  • Math comes alive in HAYES Math Moves, where we use Illustrative Mathematics to build conceptual understanding, real-world problem-solving, and confidence in math.

  • Science turns into an adventure in OpenSciEd, where hands-on, inquiry-based projects make learning relevant and exciting.

  • Social studies comes to life with Kids Discover, connecting history, geography, and cultures through exploration and project-based learning.

  • STEM & Project-Based Learning: Every week, students work on real-world challenges in our HAYES Method STEM Studio, developing critical thinking and creativity.

  • Executive Function & Social-Emotional Learning: In our Executive Function Lab, your child will build skills in planning, organization, focus, and self-regulation — essential tools for academic and life success.

  • Character Education: Through Kids of Integrity, we nurture Christ-like character, leadership, and resilience with daily lessons, discussions, and service projects.

  • Outdoor Play & Movement: Learning doesn’t just happen at a desk — our schedule includes movement breaks, outdoor play, and hands-on activities that keep kids engaged and energized.

  • Family Connection: Weekly newsletters, progress updates, and optional family activities make sure you’re always part of your child’s learning journey.
