Kindergarten Enrichment

The objective of the Kindergarten Enrichment program is to provide an enriching, safe environment for kindergarten aged children needing a full day experience. We create a joyful, dynamic community of lifelong learners who explore new ideas and interests together. We build social skills and facilitate learning using children's natural curiosity, imagination, and thinking skills. Interested parents may contact the school office prior to the beginning of school. Tuition is determined prior to the beginning of the class, payable in monthly payments. The monthly billing will be sent from the Community School’s office. Scholarships are available and will be granted at the Community School Program office or through your county’s Colorado Childcare Assistance Program (CCAP). Social Services qualification requirements are used in hiring Kindergarten Enrichment teachers.

What is the Kindergarten Enrichment Program?
Kindergarten Enrichment classrooms are inclusive, caring communities which complements the BVSD half-day Kindergarten program. The programming is specifically designed for 5-6 year old children and includes lunch and recess. Kindergarten Enrichment supports the concept of educating the whole child through play. Through the medium of play, children use their newly gained skills and resources to co-construct an understanding of the world around them. The expansion of social-emotional skills and creativity builds a foundation that is key to educational success.

What is the emphasis or orientation of the program?
Our program emphasizes

•  a love of learning
• development of a solid foundation for success in learning throughout life
• creating a community that values positive regard for self and others

The program uses a play-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum. We strive to create a fun, dynamic community of learners who explore new ideas and interests together.
