Happy Parents, Great Reviews

We LOVE Ms. Alli, and our girl is thriving in the Rocky Mountain Enrichment Montessori inspired Preschool program. We love the small class size, how hands on Ms. Alli is, and all the activities that we’ve gotten to participate in and see Kira do. Kira is always so ready to go to class and is very happy to tell me of all the crafts and things she learns each time.

This program has been such a rich and fun experience for my children. The husband and wife that own this program have a Montessori style approach while welcoming different education styles to their program. What's been amazing about this program is that is it indeed a community! There program is so diverse, and inclusive. As a military family it's very important that we are apart of an enrichment program that is inclusive to our daughter who is autistic. Very supportive and knowledgeable program! We love it!

Rocky Mountain preschool pod has been a great addition to my son’s education. Ms. Alli is super knowledgeable, empathetic, kind, and fun! My son looks forward to going to school each week, I can tell he has so much fun learning new skills and even applies them at home. We are so thankful to have found this program and can’t wait to get our younger daughter involved when the time is right. I can’t recommend Rocky Mountain enrichment enough.

My kids and I love Rocky Mountain Enrichment. They cannot wait to go each week. Alli has a very special talent of leading the group and focusing on each kiddo as an individual, all in one class. We are very glad we found this homeschool pod!

My son goes to one of Ms. Alli’s enrichment programs and we could not ask for a better program to start his schooling experience. I’ve been able to connect with other parents at the monthly classroom gatherings and enjoy volunteering and helping out in the class. Ms. Alli is kind, caring, and wonderful with children of all ages. My son is excited to see and work with Ms. Alli on the days he goes and has made a smooth transition. I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Enrichment Programs and trust that my child is in good hands!
