Please call us to schedule a program tour at 303-480-1010. We hold one-hour, Saturday tours 3-4 times throughout the year where we tour prospective parents through the school and talk about our program and approach. We ask that you do not bring your child. Once there is an available enrollment space, we invite parents to come and see our program in action.
Our Program
Report
ALC offers both full-time and part-time education programs for children ages 3 to 5 years of age. Enrollment is determined by space availability. The ALC is licensed for 25 children per day and we have a ratio of one teacher for every eight children. When a child experiences a problem in the classroom, we work with that child to "use words" to describe what is happening and to resolve the situation.
Our Environment
Report
The idea of having an art studio for children to work in is taken from the renowned public preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The purpose is to provide children with the opportunity to explore many different types of materials such as: paint, pastels, collage materials, clay, wire, beads, buttons and much more.
Our Curriculum
Report
Immediately after World War II, citizens decided to build quality public preschools with the goal of creating a sense of hope in their war-torn community. Loris Malaguzzi joined the effort and spent his lifetime dedicated to what is now called the Reggio Emilia Approach to the Education of Young Children.
Our Staff
Report
Active Learning Center staff is made up of caring and knowledgeable teaching professionals, each with an educational background in early childhood education and hands-on teaching experience.
