🌿 Bear Lake Kindergarten at Beattie Elementary
Kindergarten at Beattie is known as Bear Lake, named for the iconic alpine lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Just as the scenic trail around Bear Lake invites visitors to absorb its beauty through all five senses, our Bear Lake students journey on a sensory-rich path of exploration and growth.
At Bear Lake, students create wonderful memories in our classrooms, garden, music room, and playground—engaging all their senses to build a solid foundation for future academic success.
