Philosophy
Tiny Violets Childcare’s philosophy is based on a belief that children of all abilities benefit from an inclusive environment, emphasizing acceptance of individual differences and ability levels.
Curriculum
At Tiny Violets Childcare, we focus on child-centered teaching, developmentally appropriate practices, and the belief that ‘play is a child’s work.’ Our goal is to develop each child’s confidence, creativity, and life-long learning skills in our program. To support this goal, we use Brightwheel Experience Curriculum – a learning curriculum that uniquely weaves 35 research-based skills into playful games and projects. As children participate, they naturally grow in all areas of development, including social-emotional, physical, language and cognitive development.
Experience Curriculum lessons are based on objectives for development and learning that focus on all the most critical areas for success: social and emotional development, physical development, language and literacy, mathematics and reasoning, social studies, science and creative development. These objectives are built into every classroom activity, which means that the teacher helps your child develop skills and knowledge in these critical areas all day long.
Environment
We provide children with exciting materials and engage them in activities that are appropriate for their age to keep them focused and attentive. We develop schedules that meet the needs of young children by avoiding long periods of wait time without activity. Yet, our schedule is flexible enough to follow the children’s interests as well as their cognitive, physical, and biological needs.
Our Teachers
We work to develop a strong rapport with each child speaking to children calmly, especially during redirections. We help children put words to their emotions. We use social stories to help teach our students healthy social skills. We strive to serve the individual needs of each child while ensuring the safety of young children.
Our Families
We communicate regularly with families to ensure consistency in guidance between home and school. We partner with families to offer support and guidance.

Our hiring team adheres to the mandated process used for all early childhood teachers by the State of Colorado. They are dedicated and passionate about Early Childhood Education. We confirm all professional references and conduct national criminal background screenings. All staff members meet or exceed the qualification requirements set by the State of Colorado. All teachers complete continuing education courses throughout the year to practice lifelong learning and to meet the 15 hour minimum standard for Colorado teachers each year.
Our center uses the Brightwheel Childcare Software Program. It allows us to keep families up to date in real time with messaging features, an activity feed for each child: that shows photos of them, learning milestones, naps and snacks and a variety of other things that you may want to be informed of throughout the day. It also makes payments and other administrative tasks simple and automated for everyone. We are always here to talk about your child’s progress and help meet any goals you may have for them. We use the Experience Curriculum through Brightwheel. There are fun monthly themes and the app will show families the daily lessons which will indicate the area of learning the activity pertains to.
