The Center opened its doors in 1988 out of necessity. Through community partnerships, the Lake County School District developed a plan that brought child care, preschool, and family services together at The Center. When the Climax Molybdenum Mine closed in the 1980s, thousands of people were out of work in Leadville. Families found themselves in an economic and social crisis. Schools closed; suicide, depression and domestic abuse rates increased.<\/p>\n

Lake County School District Superintendent, Jim McCabe and Administrator Kathy Brendza brought the community together to plan a center that met the needs of children and families in Lake County. Innovative for the times, The Center was open 7 days a week from 5:30am to 6:30pm including Christmas. The building housed many community partners including Full Circle, Health and Human Services office space and classrooms for Colorado Mtn College. The goal was a comprehensive community-based program.<\/p>\n

The Center was very successful and was named one of the top early childhood programs in the country by Yale University Bush Center. It was also named one of the top ten preschools in the country by Working Mother Magazine in their September 1999 edition.<\/p>\n

Today The Center\u2019s dedicated, hard working staff continues the vision of the program by providing quality early childhood services to the community, meeting the needs of Lake County families and promoting professional growth for teachers.<\/p>\n

We are excited to now be located in new Lake County Elementary School building to continue the next shapter of our mission to serve and respect children and families in Lake County.<\/p>\n

El Centro abri\u00f3 sus puertas en 1988 por necesidad. A trav\u00e9s de asociaciones comunitarias, el Distrito Escolar del Condado de Lake desarroll\u00f3 un plan que reuni\u00f3 el cuidado infantil, el preescolar y los servicios familiares en el Centro. Cuando la mina de molibdeno Climax cerr\u00f3 en 1980s, miles de personas estaban sin trabajo en Leadville. Las familias se encuentran en una crisis econ\u00f3mica y social. Las escuelas cerraron; las tasas de suicidio, depresi\u00f3n y abuso dom\u00e9stico aumentaron.<\/span><\/div>\n

El Superintendente del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Lake, Jim McCabe y la Administradora Kathy Brendza reunieron a la comunidad para planear un centro que satisfizo las necesidades de los ni\u00f1os y las familias en el Condado de Lake. Innovador para los tiempos, el Centro estaba abierto 7 d\u00edas a la semana de 5:30am a 6:30pm incluyendo Navidad. El edificio alberg\u00f3 a muchos socios de la comunidad incluyendo el espacio de oficinas de Full Circle, Health and Human Services y salones de clase para Colorado Mtn College. El objetivo era un programa amplio basado en la comunidad.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
El Centro fue muy exitoso y fue nombrado uno de los mejores programas de ni\u00f1ez temprana en el pa\u00eds por el Centro Bush de la Universidad de Yale. Tambi\u00e9n fue nombrado uno de los diez primeros preescolares del pa\u00eds por la revista Working Mother Magazine en su edici\u00f3n de septiembre de 1999.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
