Clayton Early Learning provides free early childhood education and family support for children from birth to age 5 from low-income families. They offer school-based programs at their Educare Denver location with full-day care and preschool, plus home-based programs where educators visit families at home. All programs include family support services and help parents prepare their children for kindergarten. The school operates year-round with highly trained teachers and comprehensive family services.
Clayton Early Learning helps families sign up for preschool programs for children ages 3 to 5. They offer low-cost or free spots for families who qualify for Head Start based on their income. They also have some private-pay spots with no income limits. Their bilingual team helps parents find the right program for their child and guides them through applying. Extended day programs may need funding through Colorado's child care assistance program.
The Clayton Cares Market is a free grocery store where families can shop with dignity and choose foods that fit their needs and culture. Families get to pick their own fresh food and other groceries at no cost. The market is open to families with children enrolled at Clayton Early Learning, plus other qualified families who register through partner organizations in the community. This service helps families get nutritious food while letting them choose what works best for their family.
A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.
