Nestled in the heart of Fort Collins, Morning Glory Preschool is more than just an early childhood education center—it’s a place where young minds flourish. With a strong emphasis on creativity, exploration, and play-based learning, we offer an enriching environment that prepares children for their next steps in education and life.
A Level 5 Colorado Shines Program
We are proud to be a Level 5 program in Colorado Shines, the highest rating in Colorado’s early care and learning quality improvement system.

Colorado Shines evaluates preschools based on teacher qualifications, learning environment, family partnerships, leadership, and child outcomes.

Building Community Through Engaging Activities
At Morning Glory Preschool, we believe that strong relationships and community engagement are essential to early childhood development. Our in-house activities, such as Trunk or Treat and our Valentine’s Day Fest, help children and families build connections and create lasting memories. We are dedicated to fostering a warm and welcoming environment for all our families.
A Green Approach to Learning
Sustainability and environmental awareness are core values at Morning Glory Preschool. Our classrooms actively participate in composting food waste, teaching children the importance of reducing waste and caring for the planet. Additionally, we incorporate nature-based learning by caring for fish, worms, ladybugs, and butterflies, allowing children to develop a sense of responsibility and appreciation for living things. Our gardening projects further inspire curiosity about the natural world.
Flexible Enrollment and Exceptional Staff
Unlike many preschools, Morning Glory Preschool allows children to start at any time during the school year, making it a flexible option for families. Parents often refer to us as "the best-kept secret in Fort Collins" due to our unique approach to early childhood education.
Our lead teachers have been with us for 3-5 years, providing stability and expertise that greatly benefit the children in our care. We also recognize that some children need an extra year of Pre-K before transitioning to Kindergarten, and we fully support this developmental need. Find out more about enrollment on our website.
