I have my son in the toddler class at Prime Time Early Learning center in Norwood, CO. he and I were so impressed by the friendliness of the staff and how clean everything is all the time. My son goes only a few days a week, but usually stays all day now. He has transitioned very well with the help of the sweet teachers. I feel very comfortable sending my son to this learning center. he comes home everyday and is still as clean as he was when I dropped him off. That to me tells a bigger story to me, it tells me they pay attention to detail and really care about my child's well-being. I appreciate all that they do. My sons vocabulary has tripled in just the few months that I have had them in this learning center. When I go to pick him up he takes me around the room showing me his friends and toys. He loved it there and I will keep him in full attendance.
To serve as a catalyst for youth-focused, rural community development for Wright's Mesa and neighboring rural communities of southwest Colorado.
The Wright Stuff Community Foundation (WSCF) was founded in Norwood, CO in 1996 to fill the need for a local child care program. WSCF has held its 501(C)3 non-profit status since 1998 and acts as an umbrella organization for several programs, including the Prime Time Early Learning Center (PTELC). PTELC was formed fill a critical need for before-and-after school care for children of low-income working parents. Being situated in a small, rural community, working parents must often commute long distances for service positions in the ski resort communities surrounding Telluride, CO. Fueled by community demand, a devoted volunteer board, and committed staff members, PTELC quickly developed into a year-round program.
WSCF is now in its twenty-first year and continues to sponsor PTELC, its largest and most resource-intensive program. In 2012, Prime Time was designated as one of four state-recognized Pyramid Plus Model demonstration sites, and the only rural site in that group. PTELC offers high quality, licensed, year-round education programs for children ages 6 weeks through 12 years in western San Miguel and Montrose counties. The Center leverages the diversity of the families it serves to promote early development and strong social-emotional foundations. Prime Time is the only licensed early childhood center in Norwood, CO and the greater Wright's Mesa area. As the sole provider of a critical service in a remote, rural location, PTELC's programming is essential to maintaining the vitality of the community.
