4–5 Years
Our Pre-K Program is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for a confident and successful transition into kindergarten. At Smart Bear Learning, our play-based curriculum aligns with the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines and supports the foundational skills children need to be successful in both public and private kindergarten classrooms.
Through engaging, hands-on learning experiences, children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. Our teachers create meaningful opportunities for exploration while intentionally developing the academic, social-emotional, and physical skills that prepare children for their next educational milestone.
Throughout the day, children participate in activities that strengthen early literacy, handwriting, phonics, mathematics, science, engineering, art, music, dramatic play, outdoor exploration, and social-emotional learning. Every experience is designed to be developmentally appropriate while ensuring children are kindergarten ready.
Families stay connected throughout the day through the Procare app, where teachers provide real-time updates on feedings, naps, activities, photos, and special moments so you never miss a part of your child's day.
At Smart Bear Learning, we don't believe children should fit into a schedule—we believe our program should fit the needs of each individual while fostering growth through nurturing relationships and play-based learning.
Our goals for our Pre-K classroom include:
Families stay connected through the Procare app with daily updates, photos, meals, activities, and special moments. Teachers also communicate regularly with families to celebrate progress and partner together in preparing each child for kindergarten.
At Smart Bear Learning, our mission is for every child to leave our Pre-K program feeling confident, capable, and kindergarten ready, equipped with the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to thrive in elementary school and beyond.
