Register for Our New Virtual Preschool Program!
We are now offering a virtual learning option along with our in-person program. Keep your child engaged with preschool by registering for our new remote learning program!
Our Community Preschool Virtual Learning Program will be an extension of our current in-person, play-based curriculum, but you can do it all at home on your own time. Each week, we will feature short videos by our teachers with demonstrations of selected activities for the week. Teachers will sing songs, read stories, and provide developmentally-appropriate activities and social and emotional guidance.
The virtual learning program will be available on our website and parents will receive a password once payment has been received. The cost of this program is $100 for the first quarter. Please send payment via Zelle to [email protected] or by check to Community Preschool, P.O. Box 1652, Loveland, CO 80539.
Register today! First quarter starts on Tuesday, September 8!

Welcome Back Mrs. Geraghty
Please welcome an old friend, Kathleen Geraghty, to our preschool. Kathleen is returning to Community Preschool after many years at Mary Blair Elementary School as a kindergarten teacher. She worked for two years at Community Preschool many years ago, and we are happy to have her back in our community.
Mrs. Geraghty will be teaching the Pre-K class until this whole COVID-19 pandemic is resolved. We are so thankful for her willingness to teach our young children during this crisis. Welcome, Mrs. Geraghty!
She only has a few spots left in her class for in-person learning! If you have a 4 or 5 year old and are still looking for a preschool this Fall, contact Jenn G. our class coordinator, to register.
Welcome to a New Year of Preschool!
In-Person Classes Begin on Tuesday, September 8!
We are so happy to announce that we have been cleared by Larimer County Health and Environment and our state Licensing Specialist from the Colorado Office of Early Childhood to open our doors again in September and welcome back all of our wonderful families! Our teachers and board of parent volunteers have been working hard to put new procedures in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff. While a few additional procedures need to be followed, we remain committed and most concerned with providing our young students with the nurturing and stimulating environment that is so important for their first adventure in education. These are temporary changes, and we plan on returning to our regular schedule when possible.
Drop-off – Parents will meet their child’s teacher outside the playground gate. Children will need a temperature check (100.3 degrees or lower). Each class will meet separately outside.
Snack Time – For now, we will need parent helpers to bring individually-wrapped, prepackaged snacks when they parent help.
Classrooms – We will need to limit table activities to 4 children per table. Additional sanitizing of surfaces and items will take place during class. Our teachers will help keep large groups of children from gathering in one area.
Pick-up – Children will walk outside with their teacher to their parents.
Parent Helpers – We would like to have the same helpers aid on consecutive days as much as possible to limit exposure. We realize this may not work for all families, and we are happy to help work out alternate days. Before entering the preschool, parent helpers will also need their temperatures taken. While in the preschool, please social distance from other adults.
Masks – Following the guidelines of the Colorado Office of Early Childhood, students, parent helpers, and teachers will all wear masks. We know this may be difficult, especially if your child hasn’t been wearing one. To help them prepare, please start slowly having them wear a mask and build the habit over time.
Hand Washing – Children will wash their hands after coming inside, before snack, and after using the restroom as usual, but will include more frequent and longer hand washing.
Isolation – If a child becomes ill, we will isolate that child in the hallway and notify the parent immediately.
We are grateful for your patience and understanding while we develop these new procedures. We will continue to work closely throughout the year with our licensing specialist and the Health Department to make alterations as conditions change. Please, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We have missed our fabulous Community Preschool families and can’t wait to see you!
Here are some important dates for your calendar.
- Thursday, September 3: Medical forms due
