Testimonials
"Our daughter entered kindergarten excited and with all the academic and social skills she needed to succeed there, thanks to the excellent teachers at the ELC and the experience they provide. We enrolled our younger child as well and recommend the school to any parents seeking early childhood education in the Aspen area."
"We are grateful to the ELC for offering in town, community-focused, economical childcare for our children. The ELC feels like being part of the Aspen community. It is inclusive and offers great care during hours that support our working family."
"One of my favorite parts about the Early Learning Center is its diversity in programming. And because it's centrally located, it's not only convenient for me with work, but it allows our children to interact with the Aspen community—whether at one of several local parks or on a walk through town."
"Our daughter feels at home at the ELC. The teachers and staff are all loving caregivers who create a safe, structured learning environment. The hours and calendar fit the needs of a working family. It's a great little school in the heart of our community."
Our mission is to nurture our students, educators, and families by providing inclusive, creative, and individualized learning experiences.
