From the reviews

Just finished year 2 of Mountain Kids preschool for our oldest daughter. The difference between when she started at 3 and now moving on to kindergarten at 5 is remarkable. Her social skills and confidence have grown a ton thanks to the support and guidance of Miss Sarah.

★★★★★ — Carly, Jul 2024

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Mountain Kids Preschool! Our oldest son did preschool and Pre-K with them and we were floored by his experience! The teachers are so kind, consistent and caring. The staff is always supportive and makes sure they know each kid so well.

★★★★★ — Chloe, Jul 2024

If you have an opportunity to enroll your child in their summer swim classes, you definitely should! Our son was enrolled in the Wave-riders 1&2 program with Miss Avery and it was one of his highlights of summer. He learned so much, and he always looked forward to the next time we would get to see her and learn more.

★★★★★ — Kalleigh, Jul 2024

Our kids have been going to MK for two years and I can’t possibly say enough good things about our experience here. Our daughters, 7 and 9, have l grown so much in their gymnastics program.

Your first ballet class at Mountain Kids

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
