Friends School Preschool-8th has been educating Boulder's students since 1987. We value all learners in a creative, challenging and safe environment where every child is seen, known and loved. Small class sizes allow us to know each student fully for who they are, meet them where thy are as learners, and help them to know themselves and set their own path. Friends students are academically challenged and prepared to enter the world as thoughtful, kind, genuine, self-advocating, confident, and empathetic citizens. A strong balance of rich academic and social emotional curriculum with an emphasis on character development allows our graduates to successfully transition into any high school environment. Our students not only learn the importance of a social emotional education, they actually LIVE it.
Ziji's mission is to create a rich, meaningful, embodied educational journey for Kindergarten, First and Second grade children. We embrace play, believing that there is an organic transition from play to study available to each child. How a child plays becomes how they think. When play and academics are brought into balance, a child's inner unfolding is not sidetracked, nor who they are and what they love discounted. Children integrate their experiences through play, thus making the content of their lessons their own. Through a balance of play and study we cultivate the student's wonder, empathy, creativity and joy of learning.
At Boulder Valley School District preschools, all children shine. Every day, we partner with families to develop each child's unique strengths in a fun, nurturing learning environment. The preschool at University Hill Elementary is 4 half days per week. To learn more, contact our Boulder Valley Preschool Office: 720-561-5075.
