What families ask us

We welcome children ages 3 to 5. Three- and four-morning schedules run 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, and the long day runs 8:30 am to 2:30 pm on four days a week. The school is closed on Fridays.

Tours run one morning a month from October to April, while the children are at work. A tour takes about an hour. You see the room and the seasonal table, meet the teachers and ask anything you like. Children are welcome to come along.

Your child's schedule and the days a week. We do not print tuition on this site; we go through the figures on a tour.

An enrollment form and a deposit hold a place. When a schedule is full, families join a waitlist, and we offer places in the order families joined.

Yes. The school is licensed by CDEC, Colorado's child care agency.

A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child becomes ill at school, we call you right away, and a teacher stays with the child until you arrive.

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

Children in the morning group use the toilet on their own, and we help every child get there calmly. If your child is still learning, tell us at the tour and we will talk through what works.

A teacher stays close, gives the child time and words, and calls you if it helps. We tell you what happened at pickup and ask what you see at home, so we can work out the next day together.

It describes how a morning is shaped: a steady rhythm, natural materials, stories told by heart and time outdoors. We borrow that shape, and we do not claim more than that.
