Parents Day Out and Preschool

History

. In 1986, the Mothers Day Out program began at St. Thomas More for children 12-months-old to 5 years of age. The program operated one day per week in the Church cry room and Mission Room. Through the course of the next years, the program evolved to serve children 18-months old and walking to 5-years-old operating two and then three days per week. With the completion of the Evangelization Center in 2001, the program moved to its current location. The 4-year-old preschool program was added in 2002 and the 3-year-old preschool program was added in 2005.


Current Program
The Toddler Parents Day Out component is for children 18-months-old and walking to 3-years-old and provides activities to foster gross and fine motor development, language development and social interaction. The Preschool component is for children 3 to 5 years old and is based on a curriculum developed by the Archdiocese of Denver in May 2003. Curriculum areas include: blocks and manipulative toys (fine motor), pre-math, pre-writing and pre-reading, large motor development, science discovery, dramatic play, snack, outdoor time, on-site programs, music, Bible stories and values, and art.
