welcome to the north routt Community charter school early childhood center!

North Routt Early Childhood Center (previously North Routt Preschool) capitalizes on its unique location in the Elk River Valley, approximately 17 miles north of Steamboat Springs, to provide a rich child-centered nature-based learning environment for children ages one to five.  We celebrate the “outdoor classroom” in every season through our daily rhythms of exploration, play, problem-solving and connection.  Using a nature-based, emergent learning, and project based learning approach, our teachers strive to empower our students to be inquisitive, explorers, and self motivated learners, preparing them for the academic and life journey they have ahead.  

On January 1st, 2021 we will legally be part of the North Routt Community Charter School growing PreK-8 program! We are currently under their supervision and management. We have aligned programs with  NRCCS, shared facilities and resources, and united mission, vision, and moto.
