Children at Discovery Trails Early Learning Academy enjoy emotional and academic challenges through interactions with the world around them and through self-reflection. We recognize education is not limited to the four walls of the classroom. We have listed below some of the field trips we will take during the school year.
Discovery Trails offers your child a robust and comprehensive early childhood learning experience. Here at Discovery Trails, we recognize that children do not learn the same thing, the same way, at the same time. As we develop lesson plans, we take into consideration each child's strengths and weaknesses.
At Discovery Trails our team of experienced teaching professionals has a true passion for the power of early childhood education. Jennifer Baker, the lead teacher, has taught children eight and under since 1989. She is Colorado State Director Certified, has a Level Five Colorado State Early Childhood credential and holds a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood.
Transition - The students begin the day with social activities that help them transition from home to school. Students and parents are encouraged to do activities together at our Morning Mission Table. Group Activities - Children enjoy group activities that support our theme and the skills we are working on.

So impressed with Jen from the first time we met her. We had toured numerous pre-schools and had our daughter in one for a couple months. We were frustrated with how little she was being taught and weren't excited about any of the other choices. (We toured a ton of them) Discovery Trails was the last one and I was skeptical, but after talking with Jen for a while and doing a tour of the school, my wife and I were hopeful. Needless to say we were thrilled with both her and Mrs. Draper throughout the school year. Our daughter learned a lot and we're sad the school year is over! I can't say enough

This was my daughter's first school. I would say we as parents are completely satisfied with the school and my daughter loved going to school.
I should really mention the teaches Jen (Ms. Baker), Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Ruth and Ms. Freeland are awesome.
I would recommend this school for anyone who is looking for a school and not a day care.
Best stay and place to leave our kids for learning :)
