Maslow Academy
Treats Each Child as an Individual.
We understand that children learn at their own pace. Our goal as educators is to maximize the potential in each child by teaching according to their individual capability, while simultaneously developing their social, physical, and academic skills.
We allow children to progress through state standards and developmental guidelines at their own pace. We strive to foster a community where each child is encouraged and empowered to reach their peak potential.
All children deserve to learn, and our aim is to offer access to high-quality care and educational programs for all families. That’s why our school accepts a high percentage of families covered by the state-funded Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). We also offer a grant-funded Tuition Subsidy Program (TSP) for those who don’t qualify for CCAP but are still in financial need.
Our school encourages family involvement, and we love to work with families who perceive education as a partnership. This means we are on the same page: a child’s education starts from birth!
Classes Adapted to
Children’s Developmental Stages
Maslow Academy offers the Bright Beginnings care program for infants and toddlers, and a variety of care and education programs for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and primary grade students–each adapted to their developmental stages. Stimulating children’s imagination and creativity is key to their physical, mental, social, and intellectual development.
Education should involve all aspects of life, including arts, physical education, mathematics, group activities, English, and foreign languages. Here at Maslow Academy, we believe that children start learning from the moment they are born. We encourage children’s natural desire for learning and strive to give children engaging and interesting experiences that will help them learn and grow into happy individuals.
We offer a variety of classes for parents and children to find the one that best fits their needs and expectations. Our multi-age classrooms are based not only on children’s age, but also on their individual academic and social abilities.
Our curriculum includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks lovingly prepared at our premises, according to USDA standards.
Our School
Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio
Our highly qualified and certified teachers provide standards-based instruction, grading, and reporting. Our low student-to-teacher ratio allows teachers to focus on individual student learning paths and build a strong relationship between educator and child.
Our student-to-teacher ratio is:
- Infants = 1:5
- Toddlers = 1:5 or 1:7*
- Preschoolers = 1:8 or 1:10*
- Kindergarten = 1:12 or 1:15*
- Elementary = 1:15
*depending on classroom
A Choice in Care & Education
While there are many excellent education options out there, what sets Maslow Academy apart is our commitment to providing your child with the attention, encouragement, and education they deserve. We employ only the highest-qualified staff, our curriculum is interesting and engaging, and our low student-to-teacher ratio ensures no child is left behind.
Critical thinking, problem solving, and calculated risk-taking are what make children clever and resourceful. By developing these skills, we help children become flexible and intelligent adults.
Highly Qualified Staff
We pride ourselves on hiring caring and compassionate teachers that are highly qualified and passionate about what they do.
All our staff at Maslow Academy view children as individuals. We are all different, and we all have different learning abilities and learning speeds.
Our certified teachers continue their learning journey during their employment at Maslow with continuous professional development, workshops, and college credit courses.
Engaging Curriculum
Every child learns in a different way, at a different speed, but all will benefit from our engaging curriculum that stimulates their minds, challenging them to seek out knowledge and develop their critical thinking skills.
Our educators provide inspiration for learning through enrichment in the arts. They also focus on mathematics and logic, physical education, language and literacy, group activities for socialization, and foreign language study.
Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio
Children need space and attention to develop their unique skills. This can only happen in classes with fewer students, so that educators have time to devote attention to each and every child.
Our low student-to-teacher ratio allows our teachers to help each child to flourish at their own pace and in their own way. This is the best way to bring out and respect each child’s individuality.

Serving our Community Since 2009
We are proud to be serving over 150 children and their families through our care and education programs. Some come to us as infants, while others join us a bit later. They are all loved, nurtured, and greatly missed when they move on to the next stage in their learning journey.
Since we began operating in 2009, we have had the honor of caring for children who began in our infant care program, progressed all the way through our primary school classes, and eventually moved on to future learning opportunities.
