Transportation, breakfast, and lunch are provided along with a full array of activities to prepare children for school entrance. Children with special needs or an Individual Education Plan are welcome, and additional needed services will be provided for these children in collaboration with the local school district. We are a fully inclusive program.

- First Aid & CPR
- Nutrition Classes
- Family Night Events
- Family Field Days

- GED Preparation Classes
We welcome you any time you want to visit!
Head Start Education
Our program has a Rating of 4 through the Colorado Shines Rating System. We are NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Accredited, licensed by the state of Colorado, and monitored by the Office of Head Start. In addition, we are a “Pyramid” Demonstration site in Colorado, and all staff are trained in Pyramid strategies which assist with children's positive-social development.
We utilize the “Creative Curriculum” and the Teaching Strategies GOLD assessment system. Both are evidence-based and research supported. All teachers have degrees in Early Childhood Education as well as numerous hours of additional training in various early childhood facets.
