Two Roads Preschool Handbook  Pre-K Interest Form

My 4-year-old thrived in Two Road’s inaugural preschool class last school year. The teachers are exceptional—kind, compassionate, and excellent educators. The curriculum provides structure, aiding my child's development. Communication with families surpasses any prior experience, fostering a strong team dynamic. My son's academic and social skills have flourished—he reads, knows letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and enjoys sweet friendships. The classroom balances play and structure with kindness. Two Roads' K12 environment fosters a loving, supportive community where teachers know and support each child. We love Two Roads!

Every school district has professionals trained to evaluate young children’s development including cognitive functioning, motor skills, hearing and vision, speech and language and social emotional development. This service is referred to as Child Find. The purpose of the child find process in preschool is to determine whether a child has a need for special education services.

We are very excited to welcome you to our Preschool. Our program emphasizes the importance of a solid relationship between each child, parent, culture, and the learning environment.We appreciate the opportunity to share this first step in your child’s education with you and look forward to a beautiful partnership.

Our program strives to meet the developmental needs of all children in a creative and nurturing way. We aim to foster each child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. We offer an encouraging and inclusive atmosphere that encourages each child to proceed at their own pace without pressure.

Our program is designed to foster a love for learning and exploring the world around us. Our activities focus on the process of learning and exploring as opposed to only focusing on the result of accomplishment. Active engagement and hands-on activities are at the core of our philosophy. Children will learn how to interact with various people and materials to help them develop confidence. When children are confident in themselves, they are more prepared and willing to take chances and try new things, which leads to victories, mistakes, and problem-solving skills that will serve them throughout their lives. 

Our class is professionally staffed with a variety of qualified early childhood educators. In our Pre-K classroom we have one instructor and at least one teaching assistant in the classroom daily. Your child  and family are a valued part of our program. Research has shown that the most significant influences on children’s lives come from their home, culture, and the adults in their family and community. You are your child's primary teacher, and we look forward to partnering with you.

The program will hold various family activities throughout the year, and your teacher will inform you of these events. Family involvement in the program is highly encouraged and a large part of your child’s preschool experience. We encourage you to volunteer in your child’s room and attend classroom/school activities. 

A monthly newsletter will keep you updated on all events.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Jeffco's Preschool Philosophy

Jeffco preschool programs provide a childhood experience filled with play, adventure, investigation, exploration and friendship. We believe that each child is a unique individual and that all children can learn. Our programs strive to ensure families and children feel at home and part of a warm, supportive and inclusive community.  

Jeffco's Preschool Instructional Approach 

We believe in teaching the whole child with attention given to all areas of development including social-emotional and content knowledge. With student interest and experiences guiding decision making, our standards-based curriculum is brought to life in play. Teachers create a caring, equitable, and inclusive community of learners where information is available through a variety of materials and experiences. 

Children are naturally curious about their environment and therefore, play is an essential component of our programming. In an ever-evolving, purposefully designed environment, children experience self-directed learning opportunities where they practice skills aligned with their needs and development. Play promotes a language-rich environment that fosters problem-solving skills, self-regulation, and cognitive and social competencies alongside learning of content knowledge. 

Preschool lays the foundation for our children to become critical thinkers, gain the necessary executive function skills to be academically successful, and to continue their educational experiences with confidence and enthusiasm. We want our children to not only be successful in their future academic career, but to look back at their experiences with a sense of belonging and fondness for their time spent in preschool.

Jeffco's Preschool Mission

Increase the quality and quantity of academically and developmentally focused opportunities for Pre-K students so that those students will enter kindergarten ready and will sustain academic proficiency.
