Mission
Sunrise Preschool, a ministry of Sunrise United Methodist Church, is founded on a sincere love of children and a commitment to help families raise their children to love the Lord and prepare them intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually to meet today's challenges.

Philosophy
At Sunrise, we believe that play is an important part of learning. Learning and interest centers are arranged throughout the classrooms to encourage children to explore, experiment and make discoveries. A teacher is always nearby to lend support, to answer questions or offer new challenges. We believe that a blend of child-selected and teacher-structured activities promote the development of problem solving, listening, communication, auditory and visual discrimination skills.



Qualified Staff
Our staff is here to guide, love and care for your child. Our teachers strive to provide a Christian atmosphere, along with a developmentally appropriate curriculum. All our staff have had background checks by the CBI, have been fingerprinted and have Infant/Child CPR and First Aid Training. Our teachers all have college degrees in Early Childhood or Elementary Education, which meets or exceeds requirements set forth by the State of Colorado.



State Licensed
Sunrise Preschool is licensed by the State of Colorado Department of Social Services. Licenses are contingent upon continued conformity to the requirements set forth by law. These standards are enforced to ensure a safe environment for your child and relate to the physical assets of our school as well as staff qualifications, health and safety procedures, records and teacher/child ratios.
