Tykes on Bikes

A Joyful Community Ride for Little Learners

This fall, Ark Valley Preschool will host Tykes on Bikes — a celebration of movement, connection, and childhood joy. Families will gather at Chipeta Park in Poncha Springs, right across from our school, for a morning filled with biking and community.

Event Highlights

  • Obstacle Course: Designed for children ages 3–8 to build balance, coordination, and confidence.

  • Prizes + Family Entertainment: Fun giveaways for our little riders, bounce house, + face paint!

  • Costumes Welcome: Bikes and creativity go hand in hand!

  • Family Open House: After the races, families are invited to visit Ark Valley Preschool for a brief open house and classroom tour.

Why We Ride

Tykes on Bikes brings our community together to celebrate active play, family connection, and local partnerships. It’s one of our favorite ways to welcome fall — a reminder that learning happens through joy, movement, and togetherness.
