Preschool is the start of a child's educational journey. Our goal is to provide a positive and engaging learning environment for all of our students. Our preschools focus on each child as an individual, allowing each child to learn at his/her own pace and through new experiences. We offer a play-based curriculum that focuses on the Colorado Early Learning and Developmental Guidelines. We provide a safe, fun and engaging environment where children are free to explore and express themselves through play. All city of Aurora preschool programs are licensed by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood.
