Since 1969, The Early Childhood Center at NUMC has offered a play based, hands on, screen free preschool experience designed to honor the natural pace of childhood for children ages 2 – 5 years of age. 

Our approach is simple on purpose — but there is a great deal of thought behind it. We are not rushing children. We are giving them the time and space to truly understand, explore, and grow. Children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and unhurried. That’s why our days follow a predictable, comforting routine. When children know what to expect, they can relax, feel confident, and fully engage in their learning. 

Global Village Academy North is a tuition-free, K-8 language immersion public charter school in Thornton, Colorado. 

GVA North students spend half their days in their designated language village -- Spanish, Mandarin, or French -- and the other half in English, equipping them with real-world language skills and cultural fluency.

Our language immersion program helps students excel in reading, writing, and math while developing confidence, critical thinking, and cross-cultural understanding.
Families choose Global Village Academy North for its proven results, supportive community, and focus on college and career readiness.
Enrollment for the 2026–27 school year is still open. Space is limited!
