Michelle and Scott, the parents of three children under age 3, telephoned “every child care center in Longmont” looking for an affordable center that would take all three children. The family also needed a child care center that could provide their 3-year-old with developmental services and speech therapy. Michelle and Scott express gratitude for having found Aspen Center for Child Development and for the partnership that the staff establishes with the parents. “We are appreciative of the open lines of communications regarding our children’s development.”

A program of the OUR Center, Aspen Center for Child Development is committed to helping parents with limited financial resources prepare children for life. We support children’s efforts to gain confidence, self esteem, and sound relationships with peers and adults. This support lays the groundwork for a successful future and a lifetime of learning. Child care fees are on a sliding scale based on a family’s ability to pay.

The preschool classroom is an exciting new venture for the organization and for the children and families served by the child care center. It will provide the ongoing developmental activities appropriate for children to age six, with a classroom environment and curriculum which promotes school readiness. Alexis, Michelle and Scott’s 2-year-old, also expresses her gratitude for the care she receives from the staff at Aspen Center for Child Development by saying, “I love my artwork here!”
