Foster the positive futures for the children of the Wild Plum Center. Our program relies on generous donors! Without financial gifts, the WPC couldn't provide education and other essential services to low-income children ages 0-4 and families. Donations qualify for the Childcare tax credit.
"There are a lot of kids that need education... without Wild Plum, they wouldn't get that education; they wouldn't be as likely to excel and thrive as adults." -- Fransisco Hernandez, Father of two WPC students
"Wild Plum Center provides hope and inspiration for parents."
- Sandra Alverez, Mother of WPC student
"They give children and families the opportunity to be successful!" -Hector A, parent
"I give to Wild Plum Center because I believe in what they do. I've seen firsthand how dedicated the staff is to provide Longmont's low-income families the best opportunities. It is a wonderful program." - Mary L., donor
Wild Plum Center prepares children for a lifetime of learning and self-sufficiency by providing a comprehensive, individualized approach to early learning and family wellness.
Wild Plum Center envisions a future in which all children are provided opportunities for learning and growth, and all parents are empowered to meet the needs of their children.
Since 1965, Wild Plum Center has been a leader in providing early childhood education & developmental services in the Longmont community. Since its grassroots start, Wild Plum Center has envisioned a future in which all of Longmont's children are provided opportunities for learning and growth, and all parents are empowered to meet the needs of their children. Parents are the first, best and most important teachers to their children.
Wild Plum Center currently serves 263 children and families that are below the federal poverty level. Wild Plum Center offers a complete continuum of services for the critical developmental window from prenatal through five. We are working diligently to continue to expand its services to address the growing and unmet early educational needs of the Longmont area. With the purchase of a new site in 2017 we are expanding both infant/toddler and preschool slots.
Wild Plum Center works to address any and all aspects of need within a child's life, allowing for more fruitful educational and developmental experiences.
