Where young children discover, create and explore in Aspen, Colorado.

Joyful Judaism

The most important goal of our school is to enhance our children’s self esteem, to respect each child as an individual, to foster social-emotional growth, to create a sense of community and family, to appreciate the beauty of our Jewish heritage and traditions, and for our children to be stimulated and inspired to construct their own knowledge and “own” their daily experiences.

Play based learning

Every child is unique, with his/her own interests and learning styles. We provide our children the space and opportunity to interact and play in a meaningful environment. We are a place where children can construct new ideas and discover the world around them. They are inspired to think, reason, question and experiment through play and hands-on activities.

Meaningful education

A Premier Boutique Preschool inspired by the Reggio approach, our school combines the arts, nature, academic excellence and values to create a culture of learning and exploration. Our Preschool fosters a life-long quest and love for learning, building a strong foundation for social, emotional, academic, physical and spiritual growth.

Preschool of the Arts is a creative, progressive environment where young children receive a warm, happy and enriching educational experience. Our purpose is to provide our students with the highest quality education in a secure, nurturing and stimulating environment.

“We can’t possibly put into words what the Preschool of the Arts at the Jewish Community Center in Aspen has done for our children in our family…

Not only have our kids been gifted a lifelong love of Judaism that we didn’t imagine possible at such a young age, but they are nurtured, loved and cared for in a way that parents can really only dream of. If we could keep them there until college, we would! By far the greatest blessing in moving to Aspen was discovering the Preschool of the Arts and all of the gifts it has given our kids.”

- Laura Rose, Preschool of the Arts parent

 

“We are so blessed to have sent our son to such an amazing program…

From watercolors to outdoor adventure, space exploration and environmental education, the preschool of the arts at the Aspen Jewish Community Center truly went above and beyond to provide our son with all of the cornerstones for a strong foundation in early childhood. We are walking into Kindergarten with such confidence knowing that our kids have everything they need to succeed, and we owe all of that and more to the preschool of the arts. Thank you Miss Lieba and Miss Sara for everything you do!”

- Yosefa Platt, Preschool of the Arts parent
