CHILD CARE:Aspen Center for Child Development focuses on individualized development of the whole child, which includes gross motor and fine motor, language and literacy, sensory, art, music, and social-emotional activities. The Center is rated 4 Stars by the State of Colorado. The Center is licensed to serve children 6 weeks to 6 years primarily from families with limited resources. We work hand-in-hand with the St. Vrain Valley School District to ensure that Aspen Center graduates are more than ready to enter kindergarten.

COMMUNITY CAFE:The Community Cafes food programs are the most vital link in the safety net in the Longmont area. Breakfast is served weekdays and lunch 7 days/week, totalling up to 117 meals per day. 62,475 hot meals were served in 2024/2025.

The Center serves food to persons who are homeless, those experiencing a housing crisis, who are facing a temporary financial setback, or those having longer-term needs due to advanced age or disability.
