Once a Colt, Always a Colt
Vision: A welcoming, inclusive community where every child discovers the joy of learning, lays a strong foundation for biliteracy, and builds a strong bedrock for future learning success.
Mission: MVPS maximizes the critical window of early childhood through intentional rigor, purposeful play, and authentic family partnerships. In a safe, nurturing environment we cultivate rich oral language, foundational skills, and dual language literacy - owning our outcomes so no circumstance limits what our students can achieve.
