At The Meadows Early Learning Center in Parker, Colorado, the child care needs of children, parents, and teachers are all met. Teachers are appreciated and valued as integral team members. The Meadows Early Learning Center caters to parents, with extended hours for stress-free commuting and open communication with primary caregivers. Children are the focus of a curriculum centered on social and emotional development, with the added bonus of outside learning and emphasis on natural food.

The innovative child care available at The Meadows Early Learning Center actively stimulates social and emotional development for children aged six weeks to six years old. Infants have plenty of floor and tummy time to practice gross and fine motor skills, in a setting unrestricted by bouncy seats, saucers, or swings. Babies are assigned a primary caregiver as a central point of contact for both the child and parent, while toddlers are encouraged to explore and experiment.

Preschool children aged three to six coexist in a balanced classroom. Older children learn and pass on leadership qualities like problem-solving and conflict resolution, acting as role models for younger children. Children learn to be sensitive and empathetic by caring for classroom pets. Most importantly, children embrace communication: how to speak up, help each other, and ask for help.

The Meadows Early Learning Center cultivates a connection to nature and food sources through its outdoor curriculum and all-natural catered meals. Children and teachers eat breakfast and lunch together family-style so they can discuss food, nutrition, and sustainability. The meals are prepared by a local catering service and are free from preservatives, added sugar, artificial dyes or flavors. Children additionally spend at least two hours outside every day, exploring nature.
