Dear Parents,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Rhonda Barlow and I, along with Joan and Lee Fetters, helped found Spring Creek School, in 1991. I have a degree in elementary
education and post grad work in early childhood education. I am licensed as a Director
of ECE programs, through the state of Colorado. My education and training continues
each year, through additional college classes and workshops. I have taught in public
elementary schools, owned and operated my own preschool, been a Director for the
Children’s Workshop, and since 1991 have been in my present position at Spring Creek
School.
Our school’s philosophy and practices reflect our dedication to high quality care
and education for young children. The Hersh Core Knowledge Curriculum is used in
our preschool, pre kindergarten, and kindergarten classes. We believe that children learn by doing and need small group sizes to receive the necessary attention each child deserves.
Young children need educated, well trained, and caring teachers who will guide them
to become independent learners and self confident individuals. We believe that parents
are the most significant adults in their child’s life. Through mutual respect and
open communication, our staff enjoys a strong partnership with parents, aiding each
child to develop physical, social, and emotional skills.
Childhood should be a happy, exciting time of life. A time that allows children
opportunities to explore, create, and develop self confidence. Our classrooms offer
challenging play and learning choices, allowing children opportunities to experience
and learn.....and most importantly to succeed.
We practice positive methods of discipline that help establish consistent, age appropriate
limits, to help children function in their world. The physical environment at
Spring Creek School is safe, clean, healthy, and child oriented. Our goal is to meet the
social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs, of each child entrusted to
our care.
After exploring our website, please call with any additional questions or to make
an appointment for a tour of our campus.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Barlow
Director
