Small-Group Learning. Big Personal Impact.
About us
​Fun Nest Child Care is a fully licensed early learning program based in Erie, Colorado. Founded in 2020, our program is led by a director with over 18 years of professional experience in education and leadership.
​
For the past six years, we have proudly served families in the Erie community, providing high-quality early learning in a nurturing and structured environment.
​
Our thoughtfully designed classrooms are architecturally separated from our residence, creating a professional school environment while preserving the warmth, safety, and individualized attention of a small, close-knit community.
​
We proudly follow the Colorado Early Learning & Development Guidelines and uphold center-quality standards in an intimate setting where children are known, valued, and guided to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
Programs
At Fun Nest Child Care, we offer developmentally appropriate programs for children from 6 weeks through Pre-K in thoughtfully designed small-group settings. All programs follow the Colorado Early Learning & Development Guidelines and are grounded in intentional, play-based learning.
​
We believe in educating the whole child. Our approach combines structured curriculum planning with child-led exploration, creating rich learning environments where children develop:
​
• Social-emotional skills through positive relationships and guided support
• Language and literacy through conversation, storytelling, and print-rich environments
• Cognitive growth through problem-solving, inquiry, and hands-on discovery
• Physical development through active play and fine motor exploration
• Creative expression through art, music, and imaginative play
Each classroom maintains low teacher-to-child ratios, allowing our professional educators to provide individualized attention, document developmental progress, and build strong partnerships with families.
