Meet the Principal
Principal Holly Sexton
Dear families,
I am pleased to formally introduce Ms. Holly Sexton as the new principal of Campbell Early Learning Center (Campbell ELC) for the 2023–24 school year. Ms. Sexton is extremely excited about this new leadership role. Campbell ELC will primarily serve the Arvada West articulation area and focus on students ages three to five.
Holly is a seasoned educator having served as a teacher, instructional specialist, coach and administrator for more than 30 years. She has a strong connection and love for early childhood education. Most recently, Holly was the assistant principal at Deane Elementary in Jeffco. Ms. Sexton is passionate about ensuring a culture of trust and belonging where students and staff are well prepared and supported in their work.
Opening in August, Campbell ELC will have an amazing team of educators and support professionals who will partner with families to ensure students have a strong start on their educational journey. The school has 10 early childhood classrooms including two classrooms uniquely prepared to educate students with autism ages 3–5 years old. Campbell ELC also welcomes supportive partnerships with both Child Find and Jeffco’s district hearing center. The programming in all classrooms will be robust, follow best practices in early education and be ready to engage the district’s youngest learners.
Round 2 of preschool enrollment through Universal Preschool (UPK) Colorado and EnrollJeffco is currently taking place. Families of students in the year before they are eligible for kindergarten, and qualifying 3-year-olds, can apply now for the 2023–24 school year. Applications are currently being accepted for the second round of matching.
Campbell Early Learning Center is currently hosting family tours on Friday mornings and we are planning a Meet and Greet/Grand Opening in August once our construction is complete. We encourage you to share this information about Campbell Early Learning Center with your family and friends as there are spaces still available for students.
Under Ms. Sexton’s leadership and guidance, Campbell ELC will provide extraordinary student experiences and set a positive learning foundation for all students.
Sincerely,
Wendy Doran
Community Superintendent
