The announcement reflects continued growth in early childhood education participation across Colorado. According to the National Institute for Early Education Research’s 2024 State of Preschool Yearbook, Colorado was among ten states where state-funded preschool enrollment increased by more than 20% during the 2023-2024 school year, with the state more than doubling its total enrollment compared to the prior year.
Balance Early Learning Academy’s 5-star Colorado Shines rating represents the highest level in the state’s quality rating system. The rating evaluates early childhood programs based on factors including staff qualifications, learning environments, health and safety practices, and family engagement, helping parents make informed preschool enrollment decisions.
The academy offers early preschool for two-year-olds, preschool for three-year-olds, and Pre-K programs for children ages four and five. Its curriculum combines structured activities with hands-on exploration, encouraging children to develop language, problem-solving, creativity, and social-emotional skills at their own pace.
For younger preschoolers, daily activities include storytelling, counting games, art projects, science exploration, and outdoor play. The Pre-K program builds on these foundations through early literacy, mathematics, classroom routines, and collaborative learning experiences designed to prepare children for the transition to kindergarten.
To help eligible families manage preschool costs, Balance Early Learning Academy participates in Colorado’s Universal Preschool (UPK) program, which provides state-funded preschool hours for qualifying children. Parents can contact the center to discuss eligibility, available tuition assistance opportunities, and enrollment requirements.
The academy also emphasizes classroom safety, individualized attention, and communication with parents. Recent facility improvements, including new flooring in three classrooms, reflect its commitment to maintaining a welcoming learning environment.
Balance Early Learning Academy’s teachers meet or exceed Colorado’s required credential levels, with many holding degrees in early childhood education and others meeting state PDIS credential standards. All staff receive first aid, CPR, and emergency response training.
