Kids First has worked to support families with young children since 1992. Families who live or work in Aspen have more choices and more resources than would be available without the sales tax that funds Kids First and most of our services.

Kids First is located in the Yellow Brick Building at 215 North Garmisch Street in Aspen. Each of our service programs was developed to meet a specific community goals including childcare quality, affordability, or capacity.

The best place to start when choosing a program is to schedule a tour. Visit our Choosing Childcare  page for worksheets to fill out/review while you're touring the programs to insure that the right questions/concerns are being addressed before enrolling your child. A list of Pitkin County early childhood programs is also available on this page. Keep in mind that we don't recommend one childcare provider over another. The Colorado Division of Childcare licenses all the providers listed on this webpage, however, it is up to you as a parent to choose the appropriate provider for your child.

Visit our Financial Aid  page to see if you qualify for financial assistance for your child's enrollment into one of Pitkin County's licensed childcare programs.
