Enrichment Class

Great Escape offers an enrichment class on the first and third Friday of each month. This class is available for children who are age 3 through 5 years and are currently enrolled in Great Escape.

Classes cost $50.00 per month for each child enrolled. The payment is due each month with the tuition payment. Space is limited to 15 kids and sign-up is on a first come, first served basis. We currently still have a few spaces. If you are interested, please contact Tammi at 303-794-0707 for a registration form.

These classes are taught by the Yellow Dinosaur lead teacher, Ms. Laura, and the Red Dinosaur lead teacher, Ms. Debbie. They are be filled with lots of fun, hands-on activities that cover science, math, art and music. The enrichment class activities usually expand upon the themes taught in regular Great Escape classes.

The current hours of the class are 9:30 am- 1:30 pm on the first and third Fridays of the month.

Because the day is only four hours long, they do not take a nap or have rest time. Children do need to bring a lunch and parents sign up to bring a snack. Please remember to bring a water bottle and a spare change of clothes in case of "emergencies."
