Your child’s safety and wellness is our top priority. We continue to monitor state and local public health guidelines, look to our medical expert, and use our considerable experience to guide our health and safety practices. Our centers take important steps to ensure the very best for every child, and the Health and Wellness portion of our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum incorporates lessons about these essential topics into every classroom, every day.
Our families are employees of Children's Hospital and the University of Colorado. Here at Fitzsimons Early Learning Center, we create a close-knit environment and strong parent partnerships. Our location is ideal for our working families, for pick-up and drop-off or to stop in for a visit.
