As teachers and mentors, it is our mission to help each child to discover and develop their uniqueness so they can reach their full potential. We want to instill values that will give our children the foundation they need to develop into happy, healthy, and responsible adults that will contribute positively to our society.
We have one location in Gypsum and one in Eagle. Both schools have beautiful natural playgrounds where children can be free to play and explore. Mud, snow, sun and green grass all set the stage for great adventures.

At Rocky Mountain School of Discovery, we provide the children with experiences that will connect them to the natural world. The earth has a finite amount of resources that human life depends on and we are facing serious environmental challenges. The education of our children is part of the long-term solution to these problems.
History of RMSD
Report
Rocky Mountain School of Discovery was founded by Anne Helene Garberg in 2001. As a native of Norway, she arrived in America in 1998 with a four year old in tow. She quickly learned that the approach to early childhood education and education in general was quite different from her home country.
She reluctantly sent her barely five-year-old son to kindergarten but it troubled her knowing that her son would spend his days inside in a very structured environment while his peers back in Norway would still be exploring, climbing trees and jumping puddles without a worry.The push for early academics and lack of outdoor, unstructured play seemed simply wrong.

A Day at RMSD
Report
At Rocky Mountain School of Discovery, the children are free to choose their activities and who to play with, but they are encouraged to participate in all planned activities. By working with the children individually or in small groups, the teachers will be able to build a strong relationship with the children.
