Carefree Early Learning Center

Caregiver to Child Ratio: The State of Colorado sets minimum ratio standards. We maintain those ratios and try to make them less when possible. Safety and supervision are paramount in childcare and if these ratios get too high, the safety and security of your child would be in jeopardy.

30 years of experience and dedication to Early Childhood Education. We put children first; respecting each child as a valued and unique individual with distinct interests. We are sensitive to children’s varying abilities and learning styles. Our education programs provide children with learning opportunities for choice experimentation, creativity, and problem solving.

Care for Your Child Like You Would: We encourage our teachers and staff to help a child. If they are having a hard time being left by a parent, hugging and holding are an instinct. In addition, praise and reward are a daily part of the teaching routine. Discipline in every child is required to conform with life functions, but how it is given or displayed is very important as to not embarrass or chide a student and physical punishment is NOT acceptable.

Learning versus Just Playing: We have a set curriculum to make learning a large part of the day. Playing is important in motor skill development, but so is being involved daily with blocks, art, music, language, puzzles, science and manipulatives. This is the usual routine. Learning with talented teachers, with proven methods, makes children eager to learn and practice what they learn.

Communication: Daily reports and interaction with the group leaders and assistants tell how your child did every day, from how long they napped, to how well they ate, including the areas of study and social participation. It is very important that you continue those lessons and habits at home and it is very difficult if you don’t know what they are and how they are accomplished. In addition, we post our newsletters and events on the Web site as well as update you weekly or monthly as needed.
