Our Preschool program consists of certified Montessori teachers and assistant teachers degreed and experienced in early childhood education.
Montessori equipment is used under the direction of the certified teachers to provide individualized, small group, and classroom activities for the children we serve. Hope’s mixed age groups of 2 ½ -6 years old incorporates Maria Montessori’s philosophy of vertical age grouping. This gives the older children the opportunity to help and guide the younger children, boosting their self-esteem and allowing them to benefit from peer to peer learning.
For children who are 4 years of age by Oct. 1st 2023, Hope Montessori Academy is participating in the State of Colorado’s Universal Preschool Program. Universal Preschool provides 15 hours of free preschool programming. Hope Montessori Academy will offer tuition based wrap-around care in addition to the 15 hours provided by Universal Preschool.

The Montessori preschool classroom allows children to work at a challenging level yet at their own pace, focusing on the whole child. Through self-correcting materials, children gain independence and a sense of accomplishment as they progress through the Montessori curriculum.
