Early Childhood Education and Day Care

& Mineral County Preschool Program

Welcome to The Creede Early Learning Center’s website! We are a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide a safe, dependable, affordable and nurturing childcare facility for Creede and the surrounding communities.

A volunteer board of directors who meet monthly governs the C.E.L.C. We must survive on donations from individuals, businesses, and private foundations. The fees you pay to the Center make up approximately 1/3 of what it actually costs to provide care for your child(ren). We always welcome donations of snack food, toys (in good condition), money, and your time!
