Nurturing child development in partnerships with families of diverse backgrounds.
Located on historic 3rd Avenue in Durango, Colorado, Durango Early Learning Center (DELC), established in 1978 as a grade school, has shifted its focus to early childhood education. In 2003, a toddler room replaced the kindergarten classroom, and from then until 2020, preschoolers were grouped by age. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a transition to mixed-age classrooms for children aged 2.5 to 5 years, where they stay with the same teacher for two years or more.
