Kinderbugs Academy offers advanced curriculum BY ALISON STANTON
Since the day Cassie Millar opened her first Kinderbugs Academy in Gilbert in 2008, she says the preschool and kindergarten has strived to exceptionally prepare its young students for elementary school. “We opened both schools based on the idea of getting our students ready for school,” says Millar, who is owner and director of the Gilbert location and the recently opened Kinderbugs Academy in Chandler. “We are currently using the Saxon and
Spalding curriculum, which is commonly used in both charter schools as well as Chandler Traditional Academy in the Chandler Unified School District, and we also use the Handwriting Without Tears program.” In addition to the advanced curriculums, which Millar says helps students finish their time at Kinderbugs Academy almost two years ahead of their grade levels, the preschool and kindergarten offers additional features that are especially popular with parents. “Our classrooms have one-way viewing
windows, so parents can stop by at any time and check on their kids,” she says. The school also offers a webcam for parents that they can use from their smartphone or home computer to peek in at their child during the day. “In addition, our doors are locked at all times, and parents use a key fob system to enter the building,” Millar says. Kinderbugs Academy has classes for 2-, 3- and 4-year-old students, as well as a private kindergarten class with only 15 pupils, Millar says. “One of the main benefits about Kinderbugs Academy is that we are not a day care; we offer preschool classes, and our advanced curriculum is a huge part of what we are and who we are,” she says. Both the Gilbert and Chandler locations are enrolling new students, Millar says. The Gilbert school will start school on Aug. 5 and the Chandler location begins on Aug. 12. Parents who are interested in taking a tour of either school are welcome to call to set up an appointment. For Millar, watching the young students grow and learn at Kinderbugs is the most rewarding part of her job. “I just love the kids the most, and I’m just blown away by their academic accomplishments,” she says. She and the teachers are also thrilled when parents return to Kinderbugs Academy to enroll the younger siblings of previous students. “Sometimes parents of graduates will

Sleep Apnea has become one of
treatment. The gold standard in treating sleep apnea has been CPAP [continuous positive airway pressure], where oxygen is forced into their lungs to keep the airway open so the patient does not stop breathing and keeps enough oxygen in the system to keep the brain and heart supplied to function normally. Unfortunately, there are many people who cannot tolerate CPAP and therefore seek alternative treatment options with us. When you come into our state of the art facility, we will perform a complete and thorough head and neck examination including radiographic analysis of your facial structures. We will discuss the different options to treat sleep apnea from oral devices that open the airway to definitive jaw surgery to correct for abnormal facial development.

the leading US health concerns that we face as we continue to treat an aging and oftentimes overweight population. Patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea can have symptoms that include a feeling of being tired, fatigued and sleepy during the daytime. Many people who develop sleep apnea start with snoring, which can then progress towards apnea, where they stop breathing. The benefit of treating sleep apnea is that it will reduce the complications associated with sleep apnea. These complications include: problems with your endocrine system [thyroid problems and diabetes], hypertension, congestive heart failure, cardiovascular disease including heart block and arrhythmias, an increased risk of stroke, mood disorders and of course, increased mortality. After seeing this long list of complications, one can see why it is so important to treat the obstructive sleep apnea [OSA] as soon as it is diagnosed. Once a patient has been diagnosed with OSA, it is important to begin immediate
