We provide preschool families and children (ages 3, 4, and 5) with a comprehensive early learning program with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). As a result of construction of Frederick High School, and the remodel of Thunder Valley K-8 in Frederick (at the former Frederick High School site), our school was remodeled and opened during the 2013-2014 school year to serve children and families in the Carbon Valley area of our school district. We serve nearly 350 preschoolers in the Frederick High School Feeder, including those that will later attend Centennial Elementary, Legacy Elementary, Prairie Ridge Elementary, and Thunder Valley K-8.
