Welcome to Pre-K!
Welcome to Littleton Prep's Pre-K Program
Thank you for your interest in our Pre-K Program. Our philosophy is to help each child develop a love of learning and provide each child with a basic foundation for their future education at LPCS and beyond. We use field-tested, high-quality curriculum that allows children to learn in a hands on, FUN environment where they are nurtured and loved. We teach not only academics such as reading/phonics, math and follow the Core Knowledge sequence, but we help children with their social and emotional development. Children are eligible to attend if they are 4 years old by October 1.
We have three enrollment options; 3, 4 or 5 days per week. We have low ratios in our classrooms, (two teachers for 16 children), to allow each child to bond with and create a solid, long lasting relationship with the teachers.

Universal Pre-k
Universal Pre-k has started in Colorado! A ballot initiative in 2020 allowed for the creation of Universal Pre-k funding to help all 4 year old children in the state beginning in August of 2023. This program provides a minimum of 10 hours of instruction per week in the licensed program of the family's choosing. There are several other factors that will enable families to qualify for more hours and funding. Some of these factors may include, but are not limited to: low household income, being a dual language learner(or English is not the primary language at home) or the child having an Individualized Education Plan.
