Jeffco Curriculum is aligned to the Colorado Academic Standards. Our delivery is hands-on and play-based. This research-based model fosters creativity, focused attention, self-regulation, deliberate memory, and strong oral language. It is also fun and engaging for students!

Resources that we use include Heggerty Pre-Kindergarten Phonological Awareness (see sample lesson) and Zoo-phonics to help with letter/sound recognition (see YouTube video). 

We utilize data to design the student experience, ensuring just the right instruction at each student’s developmental level. This includes core instruction, intervention services for students who require support with English Language Acquisition; Socio-emotional needs; or a Special Education Individualized Learning Plan (IEP); as well as, challenge.
