Let me start by giving you some background on my experience in teaching, and provide some insight as to the philosophy behind The Learning Den. I bring over 18 years experience as a teacher in early childhood education. I have been a full-time preschool and PreK teacher for over 18 years in the private sector, and I am certified to teach preschool through 6th grade in the State of Colorado. I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education, with a minor in Early Childhood Education. 

 

As both a parent and an educator, I had said for years I wish there were more quality Early Childhood
Education programs available in an environment that is both educational and nurturing. An environment with a low child-to-teacher ratio that enables the teacher to truly focus on each child’s individual needs. As a trained early childhood educator, I knew this was an ideal situation for children in their early formative years. Yet, this scenario can be hard to find.

​

When the timing and situation were right, I realized I could offer a small group of families just what I had searched for when my daughter was younger, and what I continue to hear parents searching for as their
children approach the preschool years. Thus The Learning Den came to be. A licensed, in-home preschool play-based program, with a low ratio, run by a certified teacher, to help foster not only the social/emotional piece—but provide the academic foundation needed for entering today’s demanding school systems.
