Welcome to Kindergarten Enrichment at Crest View Elementary

Where can a boy fly on the back of a baby dragon, or cross a dangerous river on the back of a crocodile?  Where are elephants blue and space ships made out of shoe boxes?  Kindergarten Enrichment is the place where imaginations come to life and anything can happen.

Kindergarten Enrichment exists in order to help young students explore their world through creativity and exploration.  The Kindergarten Enrichment classroom provides a safe, nurturing environment for building social skills through team work and cooperation.  Artistic expression is explored through creative arts, literature, dramatic play, science and nature, music, movement and play based exploration.  Albert Einstein once stated that, "Imagination is more vital than information."  Our rich and diverse classroom settings are the perfect place for young students to explore and share their ideas and learn through doing and playing.

Kindergarten Enrichment is the complement to BVSD's half day of kindergarten.  Morning and  afternoon classes are both available. Maria Garcia and Judy Franz are the Kindergarten Enrichment Specialists at Crest View Elementary.  We hope that you will visit our classrooms and see our students in action!  we encourage future students and their parents to check us out as we play!

We believe that teachers can learn from students too.  Mrs. Franz studied Early Childhood Development at Colorado State University.  She also directed a Colorado Home Day Care/Preschool prior to working as a BVSD Kindergarten Enrichment Specialist.  Mrs. Franz has been learning and growing with KE kids for over a decade. She looks forward to meeting you and sharing her dynamic, ever changing, ever playing classroom with your son or daughter. Feel free to email your questions to her at judy.franz@bvsd.org.

Ms. Garcia earned an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Community College of Denver.  She also worked at community College of Longmont teaching Early Childhood classes for new teachers.  Ms. Garcia continues to do trainings in Denver for child care centers.  She has been working in early childhood education for 20 years and has been working at BVSD as a Teacher Specialist in the enrichment program for 18 years. Her email is lupe.garcia@bvsd.org should you have additional questions.
