 Mountain Sprouts Preschool is a learning environment for children
ages 3 through 5 years old. We believe that the role of the child at this early age is to experience the world first
hand and maintain a sense of wonder. Our goal is to teach the children naturally by working through the heart not the head. Our
curriculum is therefore structured to nurture the whole child by providing hands-on learning and sensory motor experiences
that lay the foundation for further learning and intellectual and social development. We provide an environment where
children are encouraged and supported in integrating, understanding and expanding their life experiences through five main
disciplines – creative play, community, the natural world, practical work, and the arts. The role of the teacher is
that of a guide, fostering good social skills, encouraging language and problem-solving skills, and presenting developmentally
appropriate activities. In this way, Mountain Sprouts Preschool aims to provide a warm, safe and stimulating learning
environment in which the whole child is nurtured…body, mind and spirit. We have received a Qualistar rating of 3 - the highest rating of all the childcare facilities
in Telluride!
