In September our Lakewood preschool was rated by Colorado Shines. Colorado Shines is a service offered through the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Early Childhood. It rates Colorado’s early care and learning programs, connects families with quality programs, and helps early care and learning programs improve their quality.

I’d like to share with you that Lakewood’s preschool classroom received a Level 4 rating, a testament to its commitment to providing a high-quality learning environment that supports the development of children. This rating is one way that ACP demonstrates its quality and dedication to continually improving the services it offers. Our Edgewater preschool was rated in 2017 and also received a Level 4 rating.

The rating program looks at how early learning programs:

support children’s health and safety.
ensure their early childhood professionals are well-trained and effective.
provide a supportive learning environment that teaches children new skills.
help parents become partners in their child’s learning.
demonstrate strong leadership and business practices.

I am excited to release thisnewswith you, and I'm grateful for your partnership that makes our rating possible! Congratulations to our ACP-Lakewood Teachers, Ann Rennie and Katherine Weldy!

For the glory of God and the good of all people,
Mindy Tipton
Preschool Director
