Mancos Valley Dragonfly School

"Besides being a lovely, nurturing environment, amidst a lovely pastural setting, in a brand new facility built for the purpose of housing preschoolers, the people in this community are wonderful and Andrea, the school's teacher, is a gentle kind soul who all the children dearly revere. This is a gem in the Mancos Valley. I would also encourage this vibrant school to let people know that Dragonfly is now provides a thriving Kindergarten program and the community is looking into extending the school to a combined first and second grade this Fall. Important for so many to know!"

"Teachers are amazing and the school has everything a young child would need for their first time away from home"

"Dragonfly preschool has given my son so much joy and confidence. I’m so grateful to the incredible people who made this school happen and for all the teachers and staff who put their hearts and souls into it every day for our children. Also, all the community members who volunteer their time and so much more to this school. My son loves his teachers So much. The values they teach our kids here are just unmatched from any school I’ve ever seen. They teach the children to be independent and have empathy and be strong and confident in who they are. They plant, hike, make food, paint and list goes on and on. The grounds are incredible for play and exploration. The location is surrounded by so much nature and beauty. What really makes this school extra incredible are all the teachers and staff. This is not a job for them, it is a passion and a mission to guide our children in the right direction and give them an incredible Foundation. Truly life changing for our family."

"Dragonfly has been an absolute anchor in our family life and is so wonderfully supportive and nurturing for our children! I couldn't recommend it more highly!"

"The sweetest little school for our littles! The Waldorf principle inspired classroom has been the best thing to ever happen to our 4 year old. Her imagination in play, love for the outdoors, and general curiosity for life has exploded since beginning school at Dragonfly. We hope the school will expand and grow as our kids do!"
