YMCA Inspire Preschool
BCD’s Preschool is a unique learning environment where teachers build meaningful relationships with each student, nurture their strengths, and help them meet goals through focused, individualized attention. In addition to age-appropriate core academics, BCD incorporates a “Specials” into their Preschool curriculum including world language (French and Spanish), movement, music, and library skills, science, and technology. Specials helps to ensure that every child begins to discover his/ her excellence. BCD is also committed to strong and lasting family/ school connections. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to actively participate in classroom activities, field trips and school events.
At YMCA Inspire Preschool, children enjoy meaningful, hands-on experiences that help them learn, grow and thrive. Daily lessons and themed projects allow for exploration and individualized learning opportunities for every child. By supporting students’ academic, social and emotional well-being, Y teachers help children ages 2-1/2 to 6 begin a lifetime love of discovery. Students enjoy weekly swimming, playtime on the playground, gym and bike park, sports activities and hands-on education on the Y’s farm. The preschool utilizes Creative Curriculum, the same program used by local school districts. Inspire Preschool offers full-day/part-day and full-time/ part-time options. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify. Preschool families receive a free YMCA family membership. YMCA Inspire Preschool in Johnstown opens in 2020.

TLC Learning Center At TLC Learning Center, you will find diverse classrooms like no other in Boulder County. “Typical kids (no identified special need) and children with special needs (identified developmental delays or disabilities) learn, play and grow side by side,” says TLC Executive Director Matt Eldred. “All kids benefit from diverse classrooms and TLC Learning Center children are not only academically prepared for kindergarten, but have also gained social-emotional skills that will help them throughout life in relating and working with others, negotiating challenging situations with peers, exhibiting real empathy for those who are different from them, and finding the strength to stand up for those who may not be able to defend themselves. These are life skills that go well beyond the classroom.” Grades Served: Early Care & Preschool (8 weeks to 6 years) Address: 611 Korte Parkway, Longmont Phone: 303.776.7417 Website: learningwithtlc.org Executive Director: Matt Eldred Enrollment: Shared during tour Capacity: 90 Annual Tuition: Monthly tuition varies based on two, three or five-day enrollment and age of child.
