Welcome to The Creede Early Learning Center’s website! We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in Creede, Colorado. We are a childcare center and preschool licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care.

We are more than a babysitting facility. We are a school that is committed to providing a nurturing, safe environment. Our focus is on developing social skills, meeting developmental needs, and providing educational training using quality curriculum for children ages 12 months to 5 years. Studies indicate that children who receive this early learning education perform better in school and adjust better socially.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a safe, dependable, affordable and nurturing child care facility for Creede and surrounding communities. We provide early childhood education for the children of Mineral County.

SUPPORT US

A volunteer Board of Directors governs the CELC. We must survive on donations from individuals, businesses, and private foundations. The fees you pay to the Center make up approximately 1/3 of what it costs to provide care for your child(ren). We always welcome donations of snack food, toys (in good condition), money, and your time!
