Preschool
The Preschool program at Colorado Military Academy operates on a tuition basis and is designed for children who will turn 4 years old by October 1st. Classes are limited to a maximum of 20 students, ensuring a smaller classroom setting, and children will engage in a full-day preschool experience. Each classroom is led by one early childhood general education teacher and one teacher’s assistant. Students will adhere to a daily routine outlined in a classroom schedule, featuring various learning centers, one-on-one time with teachers, group activities, and opportunities for socialization. This curriculum aims to equip children with the necessary skills for kindergarten, encompassing social and emotional development, language proficiency, fine motor skills, cognitive growth, and problem-solving abilities, thereby fostering school readiness for transitioning to kindergarten. All preschool students at CMA must be fully potty trained before commencing the program.
NOTE: The Child Find Form and Pre K General Health Appraisal forms are required for each Preschool student. The child find form can be found below. The physical can be found on our Nurse page here. These forms can be turned into the front office or uploaded during your registration process.
