Who we are
Colorado Children's Academy's mission is to deliver high quality care and guidance to young children by supplementing the home environment and providing the children with an atmosphere that is rich in meaningful learning experiences during the early formative years.
Our philosophy is that all children will be treated with respect and at no time will be subject to physically or verbally demeaning punishment. We will provide a creative and warm environment which will include: arts, crafts, music, sensory activities, academics, stories, emotional regulation and manners, indoor/ outdoor play, quiet times, and nap times.
Vision
Providing our children with a prepared environment that provides the opportunity for physical, emotional, and intellectual growth.
Structuring the organization to promote professional, creative, well-trained, ethical, and accountable employees.
Utilizing the most modern and effective practices and methods.
We are excited that you have chosen Colorado Children's Academy (CCA) to fulfill your child care needs. At CCA, we strive to provide you and your child with the highest quality of care and the best, nurturing learning environment. Your child’s safety is our number one priority at CCA. We provide all children with developmentally appropriate activities and materials to ensure their well-being while in our care. We have been proudly serving the state of Colorado for over 60 years, providing you with high quality childcare and a well-educated staff.
Play
To allow for maximum fun, our center includes a Jungle Gym, toddler area, and a School Age area as well. With all that fun comes hard work. At the Colorado Children's Academy we provide a curriculum that challenges students to interact, collaborate, and problem solve in an environment in which they are able to thrive.
Security
Each of our buildings are expected-and demanded to have high standards of cleanliness, hospitality and security. Each of our building are equipped with high definition cameras, alarm system, and access controlled doors for ultimate security. All visitors must be checked in and ID's verified.
History
Our original center, Denver Child Care Campus has been serving the Southwest Denver community since 1960. DCCA is the oldest and most prominent learning center in the area. The center opened its doors during a time when there were no providers for child care in the Southwest Denver area. Being the first, the founders had a vision to provide quality education with a fun and safe environment. Those are the values that we have carried forward for the past 60+ years.
As a testament to our high quality academic program, in 2018 Mr. Rich brought those great ideas that made DCCA great to the Colorado Springs area. Colorado Springs is now home to CCA at Downtown and CCA at Olympic Promenade. Inn 2023 CCA expanded to Louisville, CCA of Flatirons.
Teachers and Staff
All of our staff must go through an extensive background check which includes the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint check. Once they have passed the background check, we assign them to a classroom which is especially suited for their talents and expertise.
Nutrition
Each of our centers also follows a healthy food regime that helps fuel learning. Our diet consists of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; low-fat milk dairy products; less sodium and fat, and the right amount of protein. Having a healthy diet can boost students’ concentration, focus and cognitive functions.
Communication
At our school, we provide our parents with information on their children’s activities and progress. We provide the following reports:
Daily Reports
Incident, Injury, Illness Reports
Progress Reports
Meetings with Teachers and Directors
We want you to feel at ease and confident about where your child spends their day.
