Be a Champion for children!


The Family Learning Center is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing quality care and early childhood learning programs for children aged eight weeks to six years in the Edwards Eagle River Valley of Eagle County, Colorado. Tuition is charged below actual cost to be affordable for all families. In order to fulfill our mission we rely on the generosity of donors like you.

Tuition is charged below cost in order to be affordable for all families and sliding-scale rate options are available to those in need. We want all children and families to have access to early education programs regardless of income level. When our children succeed, our community succeeds.

The Family Learning Center is reliant on the generosity of foundations and individual donors in order to achieve our mission. Please consider becoming a "Champion for Children" today!

CASH DONATIONS


By contributing to the Family Learning Center, you have the unique opportunity to direct a significant portion of your Colorado Income Tax liability toward building a stronger community. We are a “qualified organization” for purposes of the Colorado Child Care Tax Credit, which provides you with a State tax credit at a rate of up to 50% of your cash donation. This is in addition to Federal and State tax deductions.
The donations go directly to classroom supplies, specific programs and projects, the FLC Garden and to supplement the tuition of families in need..

In-kind DONATIONS


The Family Learning Center appreciates the synergy of generosity from the community and current active contributors, that make the mission statement a reality everyday for the children of FLC.  Every year we start the process over with new grants and finding donors. We are in need of new and “gently used” computers, children’s toys and furniture, books and art supplies, kitchen items (child plates, spoons, forks), and first aid supplies. 

Please Contact Executive Director Whitney Young for more information regarding donations.

Support a new Program


The Family Learning Center has teamed up with the literary movement and breath curriculum "Move With Me Books"(MWMB). Through read-alouds, yoga-inspired movement, and mindfulness reflections, the Move with Me Books program nurtures emotional literacy, physical health, and a deep sense of belonging—one breath and book at a time.

Rachel, co-founder of MWMB, has been leading our preschoolers through a movement, breath and music series since January 2025. It has been an amazing opportunity for our children and their teachers to learn and practice inside the classroom together. They learn supportive ways to regulate and calm their minds and bodies.

Rachel generously donates 50% of the program cost, but to keep this program going we need your help! Each class costs $240, meaning FLC still needs to raise $120 per session.
