Parent’s Day Out is proud to serve the Fort Collins community with affordable quality part time childcare and preschool for children ages one (and walking) to four years old.
First United Methodist Church has been our home for 40 years, and we are the longest running licensed childcare program in Larimer County.
We are open during the school year from 9am-1pm Tuesday-Friday, and parents can choose to enroll their child anywhere from 1-4 days per week.
Our play-based approach allows us to provide nurturing, stimulating, and educational experiences, which promote each child's social-emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
While our program is based in the values of First UMC— love, acceptance, justice, and hope— our program does not teach religion.
We do include a non-denominational grace before meals that focuses on gratitude.
We also incorporate Christmas into our classrooms, while still creating room to learn about other traditions celebrated that time of year.
Business Review
"I was initially concerned about putting my 2 year old in a program this year due to Covid. However, Parents Day Out has been such a blessing. The teachers are wonderful, classrooms are small and Gail, the director, is a gem. I get videos each session of my child playing, dancing and learning to be social in a safe environment. So happy my neighbor recommended this program to me. -Becky Oconnell Hahn
Had my son go here for 3 years, wonderful caring teachers.❤️- Amalia Hope"
