How many years have you been at Graland? 2

Why did you choose Graland? We chose Graland because of its whole-child approach and its commitment to helping children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Since day one, we have seen that this philosophy extends far beyond the classroom. The incredible teachers and staff make every child and family feel welcomed and seen, involved parents create a strong sense of community, and the students bring it all together. These three essential pieces - staff, parents, and students - work together to create the special community that makes Graland what it is.

Grades: 1

What are some of your child(ren)'s interests & extracurricular activities? Our daughter is at a wonderful stage where she is curious about the world and eager to try new things. Right now, she is especially drawn to sports and wants to try them all! She enjoys gymnastics, soccer, tennis, swimming, and biking.

Tell us some fun facts about you and/or your family: Javier and I are both originally from Mexico, and we moved to the United States about 10 years ago. We love calling Denver home and especially appreciate the wonderful balance between city life and being surrounded by nature. As a family, we love spending time together outdoors, exploring Colorado, and enjoying all the activities each season has to offer.
