Preschool (age 3)

Preschool provides a warm and loving environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of each child. We plan developmentally appropriate activities and value play as an avenue for learning. We believe each child is unique and special, and we encourage self-esteem and individuality.

Preschoolers are introduced to a variety of skills such as counting, shapes, colors, and days of the week based on the Archdiocese of Denver’s Preschool Curriculum guidelines. Children also participate in daily prayer and weekly Mass.

Our Preschool program has a minimum of three mornings per week. Families may choose a half-day or a full-day program.

Pre-Kindergarten (age 4 by October 1st)
