Early Learning with Heart at ABC East Greeley
If your child turns 4 by October 1, they’re eligible for free Pre-K in Colorado, and at ABC East, our classrooms offer far more than early academics. We’re proud to provide a warm, enriching, and inclusive preschool environment where young learners flourish socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
What Makes Our Free Pre-K Program Stand Out
Families in East Greeley choose ABC East Child Development Center not only for affordability, but because of our commitment to whole-child development. Here’s what sets our Pre-K experience apart:
1. Nurturing Teachers, Meaningful Relationships
Our educators are trained in early childhood development and deeply committed to forming strong, respectful connections with each child. In our Pre-K classrooms, we focus on building trust, confidence, and curiosity, essential foundations for future learning.
2. A Play-Based, Skill-Rich Curriculum
Through intentional play, structured group time, and hands-on exploration, children build vital skills in:
- Early literacy and numeracy
- Problem-solving and critical thinking
- Cooperation and communication
- Self-regulation and emotional expression
We follow developmentally appropriate practices guided by NAEYC and state standards, ensuring your child is learning at the right pace for their age and stage.
3. Support for Bilingual Learners
Many children in our community are growing up in bilingual households. Our staff includes bilingual teachers who provide support in both English and Spanish, helping children feel seen and successful as they build their language and comprehension skills.
4. Family Engagement that Strengthens Success
We believe preschool should be a partnership between school and home. Through open communication, family events, and regular progress updates, we ensure caregivers feel confident, informed, and included in their child’s early education journey.
Did You Know?
According to the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, children who attend high-quality Pre-K programs show improved reading and math performance, better social skills, and stronger school readiness compared to those who don’t.
