As the summer months approach, many parents look forward to a break from the routines of the school year. But for neurodiverse students, the long pause can sometimes lead to what's commonly known as the "summer slide." This learning loss during the summer months is particularly impactful for students with learning differences, making it essential to create a proactive plan that prevents regression and builds confidence.

Selecting an appropriate early learning program represents a significant decision for parents. When pursuing options for two- to three-year-old children, a key consideration is full-time versus part-time enrollment. There is compelling rationale supporting consistent five-day attendance at the best Denver private preschools, such as Aspen Academy, and the profound impact that engagement can have on a young child's growth trajectory.

At Aspen Academy, we believe mental health is just as important as academic growth. As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we proudly reaffirm our commitment to nurturing confident, compassionate, and resilient students—young people who are empowered to care for themselves and support others.

Members of Aspen Academy’s Student Inclusion Leadership Club (SILC) visited Urban Peak’s Mothership facility in Denver as part of one of their service learning projects for the 2024–2025 school year. SILC students delivered a wide range of collected items—including food, perishables, and non-perishables—to support youth experiencing homelessness in our local community.

As another school year concludes and we observe Teacher Appreciation Week next week, we pause to celebrate our remarkable team and reflect on many of the past year's achievements.
