Welcome
The Patchwork School is growing! We are expanding next year to include ages three to eight (preschool through third grade), and are now accepting reservations for student enrollment for this fall. Currently we have a preschool/pre-kindergarten program in the Broomfield home of co-director Michele Beach, but we are relocating to Louisville next year (see Location for more details).

Directors Michele Beach and Elizabeth Baker have Master’s degrees in Educational Psychology as well as Early Childhood Teaching Licenses. The school’s philosophy has evolved through our own research and experience with various educational approaches, including Reggio Emilia and freeschooling.

Our school supports children by:

• knowing each child as unique and as possessing diverse strengths and interests.
• providing an opportunity for children to develop critical thinking skills, as well as focus and concentration by directing their own learning in the context of a rich and meaningful environment.
• valuing both freedom and challenge in the learning process.
• building upon each child's natural interests and learning styles to co-create long-term projects and in-depth work that naturally embeds math, literacy, science, art, music, social studies, and more.
• recognizing the importance of emotional healthiness and offering each child tools for successfully navigating both social and personal arenas.
