RISE School of Denver provides a groundbreaking learning environment for toddlers and preschoolers with developmental disabilities - A unique combination of teacher support, longer days, and the integration of special needs children with typically developing peers helps these kids to excel far beyond expectations.

All of Rise’s Lead Teachers have a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis is Special Education and the school features a low student to teacher ratio of 3 to 1. The Rise School accepts typically developing children, and children with special needs at 12 months of age. Research has shown that the earlier a child with special needs starts school, the better they will transition, socialize and develop in kindergarten and elementary school.

The school operates from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm, eleven months out of the year. The full pre-school day gives the teachers and therapists the time to assure every child reaches their educational and therapeutic goals. Therapy is delivered into all classrooms five days per week and includes speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy and music therapy. Therapy goals are educationally relevant and are implemented collaboratively by the therapists and teaching staff.
