Reaching these goals indicates that these districts are successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit from rigorous AP course work.

Telluride Early Childhood Center
welcomes new Director and new Dual Immersion Program!
Missy Taucher has been hired as the new Director of Telluride Early Childhood Program. Following her recent work in the West End Preschool Program and a previously successful implementation of a dual immersion preschool program in Rifle she is excited about the many possibilities for Telluride Early Childhood Center's Dual Immersion Preschool Program which will begin this year.
Children will have the opportunity to learn both English and Spanish in a high-quality early childhood environment along side native speaking peers and teachers. It will truly be a bilingual and bi-cultural classroom! Children who attend the Telluride Early Childhood Center's dual language program, will be given preference into any future kindergarten dual language program.
If you are interested in enrolling a child into the program or would like more information, please contact Missy Taucher @ mtaucher@telluride.k12.co.us or 970-369-8919.
