Give your child the strongest start possible with St. Vrain Valley Schools’ exceptional preschool programming. As part of a nationally recognized public school district, we offer resources and support that stand apart from typical preschool settings. Our comprehensive approach to early childhood education combines expert teaching, innovative curriculum, and a nurturing environment that prepares children for lifelong success.
Led by Expert Educators
Far exceeding typical preschool program standards, every St. Vrain preschool classroom is led by licensed teachers holding bachelor’s degrees in early childhood education, who are supported by highly qualified paraprofessionals. Our teaching teams bring a deep understanding of child development to create engaging experiences that build both cognitive and social-emotional skills during these crucial early years.
Small Class Sizes
St. Vrain’s commitment to small class sizes means your child receives the personalized attention they need to flourish. In our intimate learning environments, teachers can observe and respond to each child’s unique needs, interests, and learning style. Research consistently shows that children in smaller preschool classes demonstrate stronger social skills, more advanced language development, and better preparation for kindergarten compared to peers in larger group settings.
High-Quality Early Intervention Supports
Your child benefits from St. Vrain’s extensive support network, including district specialists in speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education, and language development. Highly trained staff to help identify early intervention needs. Our program seamlessly integrates these professional services into the daily learning environment. Our students have access to the same high-quality resources and expertise that support learning throughout our K-12 programs.
Flexible Programming for Your Family
Starting in 2025-26, we’re expanding to five-day programming to provide even more learning opportunities. Families can choose from morning, afternoon, or full-day sessions, with wraparound care options available at select locations. Our programs serve both 3- and 4-year-olds, ensuring the right fit for your child’s developmental stage and your family’s needs.
Convenient Preschool Locations
By choosing St. Vrain preschool, your child becomes part of their elementary school community from the start, allowing them to build confidence in their future school setting while forming lasting friendships with future classmates. The seamless transition into kindergarten comes naturally as children are already familiar with their school community, and many enjoy the added benefit of staying connected with siblings in the same building.
St. Vrain Valley Schools offers preschool programming at 25 elementary schools across the district, offering families flexibility in finding a program that meets their unique needs.
