ENROLLMENT FEES

Aspen Center for Child Development’s enrollment fees are based on family size and income.  Our full rates are competitive – if not lower – than other facilities in the market place. For low income families, Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) is accepted.  In addition to government tuition assistance programs, like CCAP, Aspen Center for Child Development is unique in that it offers its own scholarship program to bridge the gap for families that do not qualify for other tuition assistance.

ABOUT OUR STAFF                                                

Aspen Center for Child Development’s loving, nurturing staff members have expertise in caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a group setting. Our teachers are professional, well-educated, and trained to work in the Early Childhood Education field.

The staff at Aspen Center makes continuing education a priority and is always current on the latest trends, teaching techniques and issues in the Early Childhood Education Field. In fact, our staff members are among the most well-trained early childhood educators around. The state of Colorado's Department of Human Services requires a minimum of 15 clock hours of training each calendar year. In 2011, each and every Aspen Center staffer well exceeded that requirement -- some more than doubling the minimum required hours.  In addition, all staff members are trained in infant and child CPR, First Aid, and Universal Precautions. They are active in policy making related to early childhood education.

What's more, Aspen Center for Child Development boasts low staff turnover rates and extraordinary longevity, as compared to the industry standard. The average length of service at facilities across the nation is 9-18 months. At Aspen Center it is 5-6 years or longer!
