Children’s Outreach Project (C.O.P.) has provided diverse and integrated early childhood education to typical, accelerated and developmentally delayed children in the North Metro Denver area for nearly 40 years.

C.O.P. was founded in 1970, as an outreach program of the JFK Center at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. The program initially focused exclusively on special needs children aged 2 1/2 to 6, and was housed in local churches until need dictated that the program expand into its own building. Our current building was completed in 1987 on land donated by the Adams 50 School District.

At that time, C.O.P. was already moving toward the current mainstreaming/school readiness mission that our organization now centers upon.

Currently, we have cultivated and refined this mission to provide children of all abilities with the quality, affordable, all day education that families of this area need. Student to teacher ratios are kept below the state requirements for all age groups, ensuring that children receive individualized attention and specialized assistance with academic and social learning. We continue to strive to help children of all ability levels prepare for success in school and beyond.
