< 1 mi

1370 Forest Park Cir Lafayette, CO

Wildflower Preschool is a neighborhood school that includes preschool and pre-K programs, serving children between the ages of 2 -6 years old. The school is open Monday through Friday, 7:30am-5:30pm. We operate according to the BVSD school annual calendar for major holidays, closures and inclement weather. At Wildflower Preschool, we foster the child as a scientist; always experimenting, exploring nature, testing their hypotheses and continually molding their view of the world in which they live. We support emergent curriculum, but incorporate periodic themes where we integrate several different learning areas including: Storybook Journeys, Science and Nature Exploration, Music and Movement, Sign Language, and Nutrition and Exercise. Our teachers enrich the environment daily to encourage child-directed exploration and sensorial learning. We establish daily home-like routines and incorporate gardening, cooking, art, free play, nature walks, and quiet time in order to bridge the child's transition from the home to school. The development of social-emotional skills in our students is a key component in our classroom routines. We use a purchased social-emotional curriculum called Second Step, as structure for our intentional instruction to support social and emotional competencies. At Wildflower Preschool, our mission is to provide quality learning and care of the highest standard. Our enriched environment promotes independent thinking and a positive self-image in all of our students. We believe that children develop at their own pace and teachers are intended to scaffold, or assist, them in reaching their highest potential. Our staff members consistently model respectful behaviors and healthy habits. We follow the Pyramid Plus Model and use the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment Program to help teach our children positive social behaviors while we focus on the strengths of each child. Both programs encourage positive relationships between teachers and families while working to support the child. Wildflower Preschool is dedicated to the promotion of healthy lifestyles by staying active and eating nutritious meals. Children attending the school will participate in weekly yoga lessons and hikes in the Boulder County Open Space. We have a tricycle path and vehicles on our playground to allow for plenty of gross motor movement each day. We also follow the guidelines of 5-2-1-0, or the "Let's Go" campaign.

Please visit our website to check out our daily activities on our Preschool Blog. Healthy meals are provided and in accordance with the Colorado child and adult food program. Philosophy and Goals We believe each child is a unique individual and that children are happy and secure when they have plenty of opportunities to succeed each day. Success breeds self confidence, and self confident children approach learning as fun and actively search for information and solutions to problems. We believe in a developmental approach to learning: an approach where the child's individuality is treasured and his/her independence encouraged. We want to provide an environment that encourages each child to grow creatively, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. We want to make it easy for each child to: 1. Develop security and independence in a world outside the home 2. Make friends and learn how to handle social situations 3. Help each develop a good self image 4. Stimulate the natural curiosity in each child to question, explore, and experiment 5. Help each child develop his/her cognitive skills 6. Provide each child with many experiences of being loved, understood, accepted, and successful: to find out that he/she is a person valued for their unique being----a child of God. Curriculum Educators and psychologists agree that between the years of birth and five, children develop, learn , and grow more than they ever will again during any other time in their lives. To make the most of these years, your child's preschool experience has been carefully planned.
