Teachers Who Stay for Years And Get To Know Your Child
Our low turnover allows children to build lasting relationships with familiar teachers.
A Proven Curriculum Supports a Strong Start
The research-based Creative Curriculum® by Teaching Strategies supports your child's social-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth with progress assessments that keep each child on track.
Bilingual Learning For Cognitive and Cultural Growth
Bilingual learning opportunities are incorporated in classrooms where bilingual staff are available.
Small Classrooms For Closer Attention
We follow Colorado licensing ratios and staff classrooms with close attention to children's needs.
Meals & Snacks Included To Keep Learners Energized
Two meals and a snack are included in tuition, so you have one less thing to pack each morning.
Nearly Two Acres to Run, Dig, and Explore
Wide-open fields, a garden to tend, structures to conquer, and shaded play areas give your child real outdoor adventures and space to roam and grow.
Tuition You Can See Before You Ever Call
We post our pricing openly, because choosing childcare shouldn't start with a guessing game.
