Our Philosophy

Each child is respected as a unique and capable learner. We recognize the first five years of a child's life are the most formative, so we guide our practice with the foundation that optimal growth takes place when we encourage and support the overall development of each child.

Our History

The Children's Center has been serving the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community since it first opened its' doors in 1975.  The beginning days of the center served preschool aged children, but later grew to include the toddler and infant programs that we offer today. From the very beginning we have made it a mission to care for a diverse group of children while giving parents a childcare option that is both safe and reliable. 

Our Strengths

When it comes to caring for your child, we make it a priority to give you the best of the best. Our experienced staff is committed to serving each individual child to meet them where they are at in their learning and development. Each class has a low child to teacher ratio as well, giving your child the personal attention they need.  We are proud to offer this convenient option for the students, faculty and staff of CU Boulder.
