Founded in 1974, Lone Mountain Children’s Center is an independent, non-profit, non-denominational preschool. Its three-year developmental program is rooted in project- and theme-based learning, with a curriculum that blends structured, teacher-led learning with play-based experiences and increases in depth and structure over time. The school has an average student–teacher ratio of 6:1, and children spend at least one-third of their day outdoors in expansive playground and field areas connected to nearly 8,000 square feet of classroom space and over 3,400 square feet of outdoor play area.
According to its mission statement, Lone Mountain’s theme-based curriculum balances independent play and teacher-led activities, with an emphasis on traditions and daily rhythms. The mission statement also notes that long-tenured teachers build meaningful relationships with children and families, and that childhood, community, and love are central to the school’s approach.
Teachers at Lone Mountain Children’s Center are long-tenured, deeply experienced in early childhood education, and committed to understanding and nurturing each child’s individual growth and development. The school is non-denominational and states that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin in admission, administration of its educational policies, financial aid program, and school-administered programs.
Lone Mountain is known for a warm, inclusive community where families are actively engaged in the life of the school through many opportunities and social events. Community involvement includes school gatherings and impromptu family picnics that help build an active preschool community of families, teachers, and children. One testimonial describes the school as a place where the love and affection between teachers and students endures long after specific school lessons and experiences fade from memory.
