Creative Options Centers for Early Education
Serves children from birth to five years. Children and families receive strong support from our highly trained, professional staff and dedicated teams, which consist of early childhood educators, occupational therapists, speech therapists, family service workers and teacher assistants. At Creative Options Centers, we value parent involvement and support. If you would like to learn more about the Creative Options Centers for Early Education, please give us a call at 303-691-9339.
Creative Options Centers for Early Education provided early care, intervention, prevention, support and education services to expectant mothers and to 750 infants, toddlers and pre-school children and their families at four metro area centers in the last year.
As a result:
 100% of the children enrolled in our programs were screened for developmental and health concerns resulting in better health care and early discovery of any delays or potential delays.
In some cases, services result in a decrease in children needing special education services.
90%of the children preparing for kindergarten demonstrated proficiency in literacy, language development and developmentally appropriate social emotional behaviors.
Over 60% of our families attended parent nights, parent trainings and volunteered at the centers
Parents learned about their children’s development, as well as, developing their own life skills.
Through our family parent nights, meetings, daily contact, and pre- and post surveys, our parents told us that they felt respected and were considered partners in the development of their child’s educational goals. |
