Our
preschool programs occupies our bright, colorful classrooms and is licensed by
the State of Colorado. Since 1990, we have offered preschool thru 'Our
House'. Currently, we offer classrooms for infants (ages 6 weeks-18
months, starting 6/15/09), toddlers (12 months & walking thru 36 months) and
preschoolers (ages 3-5).
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
Infant & 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
Parents of infants are requested to provide formula, baby food (when your
child is ready), diapers & wipes. For toddlers & preschoolers, we provide
two snacks daily and drinks at lunch. Parents
opf tots & preschoolers 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.
