ABC Child Development Centers
Preschool Program
Care designed for children 2.6 to 5 years old, where intentional learning meets your child’s kindergarten readiness.
A Balanced Approach to Early Learning
Our curriculum follows a structured yet flexible routine that blends intentional academics with hands-on exploration. We align every activity with the Colorado Early Learning & Developmental Guidelines to ensure your child is hitting key milestones.
- Social-Emotional & Character Development: We place a strong focus on building confidence, empathy, and problem-solving skills, the essential foundations for a successful transition to elementary school.
- Intentional Daily Routines: A balanced schedule of group learning, independent play, and outdoor exploration helps children feel secure and engaged.
- Kindergarten Readiness: Our program focuses on the “whole child,” ensuring they are academically prepared and socially mature enough for the classroom environment.
Meaningful Exploration through Interest Areas
Our preschool classrooms are organized into “Interest Areas” that encourage children to choose, explore, and learn at their own pace. These areas include:
- Literacy & Writing: Building early reading skills and fine motor control.
- Math & Science: Hands-on counting, sorting, and discovery-based experiments.
- Art & Sensory: Creative expression through various textures and mediums.
- Dramatic Play & Blocks: Encouraging cooperative play and spatial awareness.
The ABC Quality Standard
We believe that a high-quality environment is the “third teacher.” Our centers are designed to exceed standard requirements to give your family peace of mind.
- Highly Trained Educators: Our teachers are early childhood professionals who participate in ongoing training that exceeds Colorado’s required hours.
- ECERS-Aligned Environments: All classrooms follow ECERS-aligned (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) best practices to ensure they are organized, clean, and developmentally appropriate.
- Biannual Assessments: We track your child’s progress through individualized portfolios and formal assessments twice a year, ensuring they stay on track for kindergarten.
- Real-Time Parent Connection: Receive updates, milestones, and photos throughout the day so you never miss a moment of your child's growth.
A Day in Our Preschool Program
Each day at ABC is a purposeful blend of structured learning and active discovery. Your preschooler will engage in intentional circle times, hands-on interest areas, literacy and math exploration, and outdoor play to build physical and social skills. While we follow a consistent daily rhythm to provide a sense of security, we leave plenty of room for creative expression and curiosity-driven projects. This balanced structure ensures your child feels confident, capable, and excited for the road to kindergarten.
Partnering With Families
We believe that your child’s success is a collaborative journey. Through real-time updates, daily photos, and biannual developmental assessments, we keep you connected to every milestone your child achieves. Our teachers utilize individualized portfolios aligned with Colorado Early Learning Guidelines to show you exactly how your preschooler is progressing in literacy, social skills, and cognitive growth. We don’t just care for your child; we partner with you to ensure they have a seamless transition into the elementary school years.
We’re Excited to Meet Your Family!
Your child’s preschool years are a critical window for building a lifetime of confidence and curiosity. We look forward to welcoming you to the ABC family and providing a high-quality, nurturing environment where your child can thrive as they prepare for the big step into kindergarten.
