The City of Thornton Preschool Program is a state licensed program for 2 ½ - 6 year olds. We present a curriculum in a play-based environment with emphasis on socialization. Age appropriate activities and materials will be used for arts, crafts, books, music and dramatic play.

Our main purpose is to promote self-esteem through positive interactions between children and teachers, with developmentally appropriate learning experiences and activities. Our overall goal is to help each child develop to his or her fullest potential -- emotionally, physically, creatively and socially.
