At Highlands Academy, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for children to grow, learn, and develop. Our commitment to excellence in early childhood education is evident in every aspect of our program. From our progressive curriculum to our experienced leadership team, we strive to create the best possible learning experience for each child.

Our progressive childcare curriculum is designed to foster exploration, discovery, and critical thinking skills in children. We have implemented Experience Curriculum, a comprehensive research-based program that ensures children receive a well-rounded education. With a focus on confidence, creativity, and lifelong learning, our curriculum provides a solid foundation for academic and personal growth. This curriculum and your child’s journey is visible each day in your reports from the classroom.

Professional Educators

We are proud to have a team of experienced and passionate professionals leading our school. Our owner, Holli Martin, has been involved in early childhood education since 2004 and has a deep understanding of the needs of children and working parents. Holli’s dedication to providing top-quality preschools led to the establishment of Highlands Academy as well as Centennial Montessori, and Mountain View Academy, ensuring busy parents have access to exceptional educational programs and childcare in Denver.

In The Classroom

Our classrooms are designed to provide a safe, stimulating, and inclusive learning environment. Our school features 16 classrooms, catering to a total of 225 students. Each classroom is thoughtfully set up and equipped with age-appropriate materials and resources to promote learning and engagement. If it is our infant care classrooms, toddler classrooms, early preschool, preschool, or pre-K classrooms, we prioritize the holistic development of each child.

All-Inclusive Childcare

In addition to our exceptional childcare curriculum and classrooms, we offer ancillary programming that adds value to your child’s learning experience. Our all-inclusive program ensures that snacks and additional activities are included in your monthly tuition. We believe in providing a well-rounded education, and our ancillary programming includes enriching activities such as art, music, physical education, and more. These activities enhance creativity, fine and gross motor skills, socialization, and overall development.
