Registration
Registration for the school year is on a first-come, first-served basis with existing preschool and tot class students getting first priority for Tiny Tots and Kinder Kids.
We accept enrollments during the school year if space is available.
Curriculum
Our preschool curriculum is aligned with the State of Colorado Early Learning Development Guidelines, which includes indicators that describe learning goals in the areas of mathematics, science, creative arts expression, physical development, and literacy. We also integrate Heggerty Phonemic Awareness into daily lesson plans. Heggerty Phonemic Awareness is used in more than 150 Colorado elementary schools. Additional information: https://earlylearningco.org/, https://heggerty.org/
Holidays
Some activities may have holiday themes. Please notify instructors of any holiday theme objections as early in the school year as possible. Missed classes are not refunded.
Potty Training
Our Colorado Child Care License does not permit staff to assist children in the bathroom or with diaper/Pull-Up changing. Because of this, children must be fully potty trained (underwear) or a parent/guardian must be available on-site at the recreation center and reachable by call/text at all times to tend to the child if needed. We encourage you to keep a change of clothes in your child’s backpack.
