waterstone Preschool

every great story has a great beginning.

Waterstone Preschool is a high-quality program for children ages one and walking through pre-Kindergarten. We’re licensed by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood and participate in Colorado Shines and Universal Preschool Colorado (UPK). Classes run Monday–Friday, 9:30am–1:30pm, August through May (aligned closely with the JeffCo school calendar), with extended care available before from 8-9:30am and after from 1:30-4:30pm.

At Waterstone Preschool, we believe that children are precious and that early childhood is a time to promote growth in all developmental areas. We understand that children learn in a variety of ways and strive to meet children where they are socially, emotionally, spiritually, and cognitively. Children participate in large group activities, purposeful play-based learning centers, music, physical activity, and socialization with teachers and peers. 

We value relationships with parents and families and their interaction with the larger community. Therefore, we are intentional to support and provide many opportunities throughout the school year for parents to participate in parenting classes, social events, and at-home learning activities.

We are located on the first floor of Waterstone Church at the corner of Bowles and Alkire at 5890 S Alkire St Littleton, CO 80127.

Waterstone Preschool participates in Universal PreK (UPK). UPK Colorado ensures that every child who is 4 by October 1st is eligible for 10-15 hours of state-funded preschool. At Waterstone, families are charged tuition for hours attended in excess of the UPK funded hours. For more information about how Waterstone is participating in UPK, and an opportunity to view our facility, we invite you schedule a tour.
