Preschool Enrichment (ages 3-6)

The HRCA's Enrichment is a before and after school program for children in our preschool and pre-k classes. The program runs 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. and then gathers again from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., with preschool and pre-k classes running from 9:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. So, families who need full-time care for their child may enroll in Enrichment and a five-day preschool or pre-k class. Families looking for two full-days can enroll a child in the two-day morning preschool class and Enrichment on the same two days, giving you care for your child from 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on those days. HRCA wants to provide a flexible child care option to meet your needs while maintaining the integrity and quality of the preschool and pre-k program you value. 

• Enrichment includes, swim time, music, language, pottery, art, dance, drama, architecture, story time, nap, and snack time.
• The Enrichment program is facilitated by the same preschool and pre-k teachers you have come to love and trust at HRCA.
• The Enrichment program is licensed with the state of Colorado and therefore maintain the integrity of licensed programs in policy and procedures.

• Children are enrolled in preschool/pre-k class for the year, while Enrichment allows parents to enroll by the month, providing flexibility month-to-month.
• Refunds for Enrichment will not be granted after the last day of the month for the upcoming month. For instance, January 31, 2011 is the last day to request a refund for February 2011.
• We will open up any remaining spots in Enrichment to children outside of the preschool program beginning the first day of each month for parents who are looking for care from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Preschool

Register NOW...only a few spots remain for spring Preschool and Pre-K!

Preschool is becoming more and more critical in preparing your child for the more strictly enforced requirements for kindergarten and 1st grade students. Giving your children an opportunity to exercise their cognitive skills at an early age, allows them to develop a comfort with memorization, letter and concept recognition, listening skills, confidence and following directions. These are the building blocks for future academic pursuits that include phonics, writing, math and reading. Our program is based on a play environment with developmentally appropriate activities, giving children the foundation for future academic learning. Through the variety of activities we use to teach children how to hold their pen and be familiar with letters, numbers, colors, seasons and times of day, among others, children will develop their emotional, social, creative and cognitive skills and have fun doing it!
