Pre-Kindergarten
Step into a Pre-K classroom at Aspen and you’ll be greeted by a host of cheerful students being playful while being challenged. These thriving leaders of the future are learning to be kind, do good, work hard, and make the world better each day. While they make it look easy, our faculty is bringing precise, personalized care to each student’s journey with a mix of play and conscientious curriculum. These students are experiencing an education of consequence and falling in love with learning and living.
We are committed to equipping students with the skills, habits, attitudes and content needed to successfully develop and navigate an extraordinary and purposeful life. In PreK, we begin with social and emotional education fundamentals to support thriving lives for our students. Our program intentionally and consistently cultivates:
- Curiosity and Imagination
- Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
- Collaboration Across Networks
- Agility and Adaptability
- Initiative
- Effective Communication
- Accessing and Analyzing Information
Pre-K students must be 4 before September 1 and Kindergarten students must be 5 by September 1 to apply.
For Pre-K and Kindergarten admissions, we follow the September 1st date as a guide. Applicants within the cutoff date may be considered after review by the admissions committee.

LETTER FROM LOWEr SCHOOL DIRECTOR
Welcome to Aspen Academy's Lower School! It is with great pleasure and honor that our dedicated and knowledgeable team commences on a journey to establish the expectation in each of our students that learning is not only exhilarating but also has the transformative ability to unlock the best in each of us. At Aspen Academy, we believe in creating a learning environment that is both engaging and empowering, where our students can discover their full potential and embrace a lifelong love for learning.
Our core values of being kind, doing good, working hard, and making the world a better place guide us in shaping our students into well-rounded individuals who are not only academically successful but also compassionate and socially responsible. By instilling these values in our students from the early years, we aim to nurture a sense of purpose and a desire to make a positive impact on the world around them.
I am excited to partner with each family, as we work collaboratively to create a vibrant and supportive community where learning is celebrated, growth is encouraged, and each child is inspired to reach for the stars. I am excited to walk this educational journey with you and witness the extraordinary potential that lies within each and every one of our Lower School students. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time should there be anything that I can do to be of service to your family.
- LAUREN PLATT, LOWER SCHOOL DIRECTOR
