School Overview
Spark! Discovery Preschool is a standalone, high-quality preschool center serving families in Frederick, Firestone, and Dacono. As part of a nationally recognized public school district, we offer resources and support that stand apart from typical preschool settings. Our comprehensive approach to early childhood education combines expert teaching, innovative curriculum, and a nurturing environment that prepares children for kindergarten readiness and lifelong success.
Led by Expert Educators
Far exceeding typical preschool program standards, every classroom is led by licensed teachers holding bachelor’s degrees in early childhood education, who are supported by highly qualified paraprofessionals. Our teaching teams bring a deep understanding of child development to create engaging experiences that build both cognitive and social-emotional skills during these crucial early years.
Small Class Sizes
Our commitment to small class sizes means your child receives the personalized attention they need to flourish. In our intimate learning environments, teachers can observe and respond to each child’s unique needs, interests, and learning style. Research consistently shows that children in smaller preschool classes demonstrate stronger social skills, more advanced language development, and better preparation for kindergarten compared to peers in larger group settings.
High-Quality Early Intervention Supports
Your child benefits from St. Vrain’s extensive support network, including district specialists in speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education, and language development. Highly trained staff to help identify early intervention needs. Our program seamlessly integrates these professional services into the daily learning environment. Our students have access to the same high-quality resources and expertise that support learning throughout our K-12 programs.
Flexible Programming for Your Family
Families can choose from morning, afternoon, or full-day sessions, with wraparound care options available. Our programs serve both 3- and 4-year-olds, ensuring the right fit for your child’s developmental stage and your family’s needs.
