Red Rocks Christian Preschool

We enrolled our daughter Emma at Red Rocks this fall after deciding to switch from another preschool. We were looking for more structure and a stronger academic foundation. Emma was nervous about leaving her friends, so we made a deal with her. She would try Red Rocks for one month, and if she did not like it, she could return to her old school. Within two days, she told us she wanted to stay. She immediately connected with her teachers, made new friends, and thrived in the structured environment. The academic growth has been incredible. Within the first few months, she was reading and writing every letter of the alphabet, identifying vowels and consonants, blending sounds, and beginning to read short words. We are continually amazed at how much she has learned in such a short time. Just as important to us, Red Rocks sets high expectations for student behavior. Students are expected to listen and participate in class, be kind to one another, and follow the rules. Each day students are sent home with a behavior chart so parents can see how well their child behaved that day. At first I thought this might be a bit extreme, but Emma is so proud of herself everyday when she comes home with a blue (excellent) behavior score. One of our favorite aspects of Red Rocks is the stability of the staff. There is virtually no teacher turnover. We see the same warm, familiar faces every day. In fact, one teacher celebrated her retirement at the beginning of the school year, which speaks volumes about the longevity and commitment of the staff. Previously, we experienced constant turnover with new teachers almost monthly. The consistency at Red Rocks makes a tremendous difference. We could not be happier with our decision. If we could leave 10 stars, we would.
