Join your child's teachers and classmates at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 30th at Dwayne Webster Veteran's Park for our annual walk-a-thon fundraiser. Children will take three laps around the park, play with their friends and enjoy a special treat afterward. We will have a pot luck lunch (details available soon) and meet new friends! 

Look for fundraiser packets to be sent home with your child in mid-September. This popular fundraiser helps us keep tuition affordable, and every cent is spent on toys, books, supplies and other equipment at Community Preschool.

Not able to attend our Walk-a-thon, send a payment through Zelle to [email protected]  Thanks for your support!

Class code: R3Q3J

Throughout the school year families have an opportunity to purchase affordable books for their children through Scholastic.  Every book you purchase earns points for Community Preschool to purchase educational materials and books for the classrooms.  Go to https://clubs.scholastic.com and create an account with the code R3Q3J.  Families can also complete a paper order and return to their child's teacher with a check payment.

Enjoy your reading! If you have questions, please contact Ms. Tammy.
 

Enjoy old-fashioned ice cream, shakes and other sweet treats while raising money for a good cause.  Paradice Cream will donate 25% of all purchases back to our preschool.  Please let them know you are with Community Preschool!

Medical Paperwork & Required Orientation for Families

Thanks to your incredible generosity, our virtual pancake breakfast and silent auction was a big success. We raised more than $2,500! That's money for school supplies, toys, and outdoor equipment — funds we rely on to operate while keeping tuition affordable. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity. 

Our sincerest thank you to the following people and organizations who donated to our silent auction:

Enjoy your week off school and we will resume classes on Monday, March 21st!

Our most popular fundraiser and community-building event of the year — the pancake breakfast — we are putting on hold again. But though we won't meet for pancakes in person this year, we're still excited to host the popular online silent auction, with 100% of the proceeds going straight to your child's classroom. 

Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 2nd, 8:00 am - 7:00 pm and watch Community Preschool's Facebook page for the auction to go live.

Preview the items the last week of March.  We'll be auctioning off a handmade dollhouse, birthday packages from Urban Air and Wooden Mountain, gift baskets to Wicked Tequila and Rodan & Fields Skin Care, Loveland Laser Tag Gift cards and many more fun items.

To bid on an item on April 2nd, comment with your price.  Items go to the highest bidder once the auction closes at 7 pm.  If you win an item, a Community Preschool Board member will get in touch with you to arrange for the item pick up and payment.

If you do not wish to purchase an auction item, please consider making a donation to Community Preschool through our PayPal link at the top of this page.

Make sure you are enjoying pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner from the comfort of your home while you bid!

For more information, email the fundraising/development coordinator.

As always, thank you for your support!

There will be no classes on Thursday, February 17th and Friday, February 18th for conferences.  We will be closed on Monday, February 21st in observance of Presidents' Day.

Classes will resume as normal for Friday, February 4th.  Stay safe and warm everyone!

Tuesday tours are available in March and April of our preschool.  They will begin at 10:00 a.m. and run approximately 30 minutes.  You are welcome to bring your child, a mask and lots of questions.  Please contact Ms. Tammy to schedule a tour.

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!

We are looking forward to a great 2020–2021 school year!

After discussing the COVID-19 pandemic with the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, our state licensing specialist, and other area preschools, we have made the very difficult decision to close our preschool for the remainder of the 2019–2020 year. We will reopen in the Fall.

These times are unsettling and unexpected, and we're heartbroken and so sorry that we will not be able to end the year with you and your children. Teachers and board members are working on a plan to stay connected to all of our families during this difficult time, and we'll be in touch. For now, we hope you and your children are safe and healthy.

If you have questions about tuition reimbursement, please contact the treasurer. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support.

We will get through this together.

• Pledge envelopes will be distributed in the children’s cubbies at school.
• Invite family and friends to make a tax-deductible donation and come walk with us. Complete the pledge form and return it in the treasurer’s box at school.
• Come to the walk-a-thon on the day your child attends class.
  —Mrs. Abbott’s MW 3s and Mrs. Martinez’s PM 4s: Attend whichever day works best. Please arrive at the park at 10:30 a.m.
  —Mrs. Martinez’s TR 3s and MWF 4s: Come to class at the usual time in the morning, and then pick up your child at 10:00 a.m. and go to the park.

• Wear your Community Preschool t-shirt if you have one, and bring your camera. We will walk three laps around the playground area together. Each child who participates will receive a small prize.
• Bring a nut-free dish to share. We will be using SignUpGenius.com so watch for an email to sign up. Items needed are: Main Dishes (noodles, chicken, casserole, small sandwiches, hot dogs, etc.), Desserts (cookies, brownies, fruit kabobs, etc.), Side Dishes (fruit, vegetables, pasta salad, green salad, etc.), Other Sides (chips, dip, popcorn, pretzels, etc.).
• Parent-helpers for these days, please bring cups and drinks to share. (Your children will have show and tell before going to the park in Mrs. Martinez classes)
• Pack plates and plasticware/silverware for your family. Also bring any serving utensils needed for your potluck dish.
• And most importantly, have fun!

Because we are a corporation, and parents are members of that corporation, all members must attend one yearly meeting​. Parent orientation serves as that annual meeting. Community Preschool is holding parent orientation on several dates and times in August and September. At least one parent MUST attend one session. All sessions will be held at the school.

New Family Orientation
(30 to 45 minutes. Open to New or Returning Families.)

• August 23 at 9:30 a.m.
• August 23 at 10:30 a.m.
• August 28 at 6:00 p.m. 

Returning Family Orientation
(20 minutes. For Returning Families only.)

• September 5 at 9:15 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. 
• September 6 at 9:15 a.m.

If you do not attend during a scheduled time, you will be required to pay for a private meeting for a fee of $40.

You will be asked to sign a form attesting that you have read the entirety of the Community Preschool Parent Handbook.
