Lyons Valley Preschool

Our Preschool

Lyons Valley Preschool is a vibrant early childhood learning center nestled in the heart of the charming town of Lyons, Colorado. Founded by a dedicated group of parents in the aftermath of the devastating 2013 floods, our preschool was born from a desire to create a nurturing and enriching space for young minds to flourish. We are a non-profit organization, deeply rooted in the community, and driven by a passion for fostering a love of learning in every child.

Our Vision & Mission

At Lyons Valley Preschool, we envision a future where children are empowered to become confident, compassionate, and inquisitive lifelong learners. We believe that every child possesses unique talents and abilities, and our mission is to create an environment that nurtures their individual potential. We strive to provide a high-quality Montessori-based early childhood learning program that promotes academic excellence, fosters leadership qualities, cultivates a sense of community, and inspires stewardship for the Earth.

Curriculum

Our curriculum is meticulously designed to engage young learners through hands-on experiences, creative exploration, and a rich tapestry of activities. Inspired by the principles of Montessori education, our approach emphasizes self-directed learning, encouraging children to discover their passions, explore their curiosities, and develop a deep sense of ownership over their learning journey.

Through thoughtfully prepared materials, captivating art projects, melodious music experiences, enriching nature explorations, and imaginative play, we create a stimulating and supportive environment where children thrive.

We believe that learning should be an adventure, a joyful exploration of the world around them. Our classrooms are vibrant spaces filled with opportunities for discovery, experimentation, and collaboration.
