Creekside Preschool is an inclusive, play-based program, where children explore their world using all of their senses, have plenty of opportunity to experiment, and try out their ideas in a safe environment.  We use The Creative Curriculum®, a research-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum that serves as the foundation for planning our learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom.  Teaching Strategies Gold® is our assessment system.  

Our highly experienced teachers are certified with endorsements in Early Childhood Special Education.  Each preschool classroom has the support of a paraprofessional, speech language pathologist, occupational therapist, psychologist/social worker, and a community liaison.  We have a morning and afternoon session.  

For the 2022/2023 school year, our morning session is from 7:50 am to 10:50 am Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Our afternoon session is from 11:50 am to 2:50 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  There is no school on Wednesdays as this is our planning day for our teachers.  

Songs, games, poems, finger-plays, choice-centers activities, books, and stories are all integral parts of our classrooms.  We connect to the community through programs sponsored by groups such as the Boulder Public Library, Growing Gardens, CU Boulder Museum of Natural History, and Ecocycle; and our year is highlighted by monthly playdates and celebrations.

We would love to tell you more about our program.  Please don’t hesitate to contact our ECE Community Liaison, DeLise McCoy, at delise.mccoy@bvsd.org or 720-561-3815 with any questions that you may have or to schedule a tour. This video, created during the pandemic, is also a great way to get an idea of a typical preschool day at Creekside.
