Here at Hopkins we are proud to have two preschool classrooms licensed by the State of Colorado. Our licensed program allows us to take children at the age of two and a half. Our program is designed to recognize each child as a unique individual with special gifts ready to be discovered. We promote the development of social, emotional and academic growth through a variety of age-appropriate activities in a safe and nurturing environment. We prepare children for kindergarten by providing meaningful experiences that enhance optimal growth in social, emotional, and cognitive development in a play-based atmosphere. Our classrooms are staffed with experienced and caring teachers that are continuously seeking further education in the realm of early childhood.
We incorporate all 8 of the following centers into each weekly theme.
Art
Small Motor
Math
Language
Blocks
Science
Music/Circle Time
Dramatic Play

* WE ARE A PEANUT FREE ENVIRONMENT!
We have a severe peanut allergies in our preschool; therefore it is crucial that
we maintain a peanut free environment! Please do not send anything that
contains peanuts in your children's lunches! Thank you for your cooperation!
* On various Wednesdays throughout the year we have a PLC day, which is a
late start at 10:36! Preschool does not recognize these late starts.
* If your child is dropped off after 9:00 A.M. and your child
is having hot lunch, the option will be chicken nuggets only!
*Please feel free to call or email Megan Jensen for any scheduling and/or billing inquiries!
