Preschool

Mission Statement

Twin Peaks Preschool provides students an exceptional early education, building a strong foundation for future learning in a caring environment that fosters social, physical, academic, and emotional growth.

Twin Peaks Classical Academy offers a high quality Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten program ensuring the best start for your child. As Longmont's only classical education school, our preschool is based on the Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence and is a fee-based program for children ages 3-5 years. We are a CO Universal Preschool Provider for children who are 4 year old by October 1st.

Children in our program develop both socially and academically in a safe, stimulating environment with engaging, hands-on lessons and activities. They study nursery rhymes, letter sounds and number concepts, while being exposed to classic stories, games, and songs. A main focus of our preschool is to help students grow socially and academically to be prepared for Kindergarten and beyond. We integrate the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship, in everything we do at Twin Peaks Preschool, creating a strong community.

Leslie Chrysler

Director/Teacher

Ms. Chrysler is excited to be a part of Twin Peaks preschool. She loves adventure, art and learning and feels privileged to spend her time with children doing these exact things.

Ms. Chrysler has been teaching for 25 years in the preschool environment and loves the process of watching a child learn and become confident in his/her new skills. She loves sharing books, exploring creativity and investigating nature and science with students, and helping prepare children for many years of learning.

Ms. Chrysler and her husband Jim live in Longmont and have raised 3 boys, Andy, Josh and Ben, in this community. They finally added girls to the mix when Andy married Reena and Ben married Alice. She is Grandma to Lee and Jean.  They enjoy living so close to the mountains and the many outdoor adventures that this allows.

Ms. Chrysler enjoys connecting with children and their families and looks forward to welcoming them into her classroom and Twin Peaks Preschool.

Sarah Haan

Teacher Assistant

Born and raised in Indiana, Ms. Haan attended college in Michigan and Indiana, earning degrees in English, Business-CAS, and Nursing. She and her husband sought adventure and moved to Florida, where they enjoyed white sand beaches, manatees, and hurricanes (ha!) for the next decade. Their love of hiking eventually drew them to Colorado in 2021.

After working as a Labor & Delivery RN for 10 years, Ms. Haan left the medical field and joined the SVVSD in 2023 as a substitute teacher, where she discovered her love of preschool. She's thrilled to become an official part of the preschool team this year.

Josefa Pop

Teacher Assistant

Hi, my name is Josefa Pop. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the preschool team. Having lived in Colorado for 15 years with my husband and two girls, who also attend TPCA, I feel a strong connection to this community. I am originally from Guatemala, where I received an associate's degree in computer science. I have ten years of experience working with children, including teaching Spanish through the community programs of SVVSD. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education at FRCC, and I can't wait to bring my passion for teaching to TPCA.

I enjoy camping, gardening, and doing crafts.
