Mission Statement  

The city of Aurora Preschool Program provides a respected andPreschool Logo affordable program that allows each child to realize their full leaning potential based upon their individual abilities. 

This is accomplished by:


  • Offering social/emotional, physical and academic experiences in a nurturing, safe and child centered environment
  • Embracing families as partners within our program and the early learning journey
  • Fostering children's opportunities to explore, play and learn
  • Developing life skills and kindergarten readiness                    
  • Providing knowledgeable, early childhood qualified teaching staff
  • Focusing on the whole child to offer positive hands-on experiences

 

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.

Congratulations to all city of Aurora Preschools
 for your continued commitment to quality from Colorado Shines Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS).  Colorado Shines is the state's quality rating and improvement system for early learning programs.

Each of our five schools is a Level 5-rated program, the highest rating for child care programs, showing our commitment to supporting children's health and safety, ensuring our staff are well-trained and effective, providing a supportive learning environment and helping families be active in their children's learning.   

Using proven methods, it assesses overall school quality based on 5 areas:
  1. Workforce Qualifications and Professional Development
  2. Family Partnerships
  3. Leadership, Management and Administration
  4. Learning Environment
  5. Child Health Promotion

Research consistently shows that children who attend quality early care and learning programs are more likely to do well in school and less likely to drop out or need remedial education. Quality early education helps children start strong and the benefits last forever.
