My name is Kelly Lafferty and I  accepted the Director position of the amazing Ascension Lutheran's Extended Day preschool program in January of 2021. I am also an Internationally Certified Lactation Consultant with a small company in downtown Denver. I was raised very dedicated and involved in a local Lutheran church in Centennial, and I have always been driven and motivated to work with children alongside God's support.

Loved the school. Very excited to have my son attend in the fall. Very clean. Great that the curriculum follows LPS and much attention to building healthy social skills. Also excited that God and prayer is incorporated.
