FCPS Programs

Fort Collins Preschool is a unique parent-involved preschool with families working together in a professionally guided preschool program. Under the guidance of the teacher/director, parents are trained and participate in the classroom approximately twice monthly.  We offer programs for children ages two through pre-kindergarten.

We offer classes for 2 - 5 year olds:

Parent + Tot Class

(2 year olds)

Fort Collins Preschool’s 2-Year-Old Parent Tot class offers a positive and reassuring environment where children are able to explore, experience, and interact with peers while having the security of their parent being close by.

Intermediate Class

(3 year olds)

In many cases, this will be the child’s first experience with being away from home in a school setting. It is important that the experience be positive and growth-producing for children and parents alike. Our supportive environment will encourage social growth in your 3-year-old child.

Pre-K Class

(4 year olds)

Your 4-year-old child’s natural desire to learn and increasing need to develop friendships will bloom and grow in our Pre-Kindergarten class. Our family-oriented group setting allows for many individual and group relationships that often involve parents and entire families as well as our own preschool children.

Additional Programs:

Enrichment Classes (included)

We believe skills learned by participating in art and music transfer to communication skills, study skills and cognitive skills. An education in the arts helps children pass from school into the world of work and community.

  • "We have loved being a part of this preschool for the last three years, and plan on attending next year as well for their unique Junior K class for five year olds! The teachers are so great with the kids, and I've loved making friends not only for my kids, but also for myself in this community. The half day schedule is perfect for my family."

  • "We've had nothing but good experiences with this preschool and have had two different children attend. The co-op model takes a bit of getting used to but makes it much more affordable and creates a sense of community that other preschools may lack. The teachers have all been wonderful and the director is extremely knowledgeable and kind. We could not ask for a better neighborhood preschool here in Fort Collins!"

  • "We love this school for our 3 year old. This year was her first year in any kind of school or daycare setting, she’s shy, and the transition has been so smooth because we get to be in the classroom with her some of the time. All of the school staff and other parents will get to know your child, and you get to know all of the other little ones in your child’s class. The staff are all wonderful and have found their calling in working with littles. This school is truly a community, exactly what our family needs."
