Supporting your children (and yourself!) during COVID-19
Greetings Center families.
What a different ending to the school year we have now than what we expected when school started last fall. We have missed seeing all of you.
Thank you for everything you do balancing parenting, teaching, and working. We know it’s tough. We all have learned and grown in so many ways these last couple of months. So many things have changed.
It can be hard to know what to say to our kids when they are worried and hard to know what to do for ourselves when we have our own worries.
Here is a tip sheet from the Colorado Office of Early Childhood with ideas on how to talk to your kids about COVID-19.

We at The Center also want to help you connect to local resources.
As the school year winds down, the managers will still be checking emails and voicemails for a few more weeks into June.
Feel free to leave a voicemail on the main office line at 719-486-6920 or send an email to any of us using the email addresses here.
Please understand that we are not permitted to work in the building very much and there may be a delay in returning your message.
Stay strong and enjoy a happy summer.
