Preschool
is currently offered through Our House Children's Learning Center, a
state-licensed facility opened by Chris & Victoria Lierheimer in 1990. Located
at 6891 Highway 73, Evergreen, Co 80439, Our House is just 1/2 mile south of Evergreen Academy. Our House offers programs for
children ages 1-5. Our House is a Christian center, offering preschool and
extended child care in 5 small, warm classrooms.
Philosophy
We believe that your child is truly a gift from the Lord, demanding our
greatest effort and highest respect. With this in mind, we believe that a loving
relationship with a teacher and a varied set of daily activities must be the
center of each child's day. This day must reflect a balance of group
interactions with a teacher, individual interactions with that teacher and
independent play in educational 'centers'. As children progress through our
classrooms, we gradually increase the amount of time spent in group interactions
with their teacher to build the attention span and their ability to work in
groups.
Classes & Staffing
Our staff is closely screened and carefully chosen. They all share a love for
young children and for leading them in their growth and development. In our
Toddler rooms, our staff-to-child ratio is 1:5, and in our Preschool rooms our ratio
is 1:10. All classes participate in special holiday celebrations and several
field trips throughout the year.
Snacks & Lunches
Our House provides two snacks daily and drinks at lunch. Otherwise, parents
pack a self-contained lunch each day. Our House currently offers Hot Lunch every
Tuesday and Friday; parents may sign up for this day for $3.50 per day.
