“The one thing I don’t have to worry about now is school. They’re learning things I can’t teach them.”
Making a Difference in Early Education
CLC is a Commitment
CLC is more than just a school, it’s a commitment–to access, to equity, and to the collective power of a strong start. We serve as both an anchor and launchpad, rooted in the belief that nurturing young minds in a warm, collaborative environment fosters lifelong curiosity, compassion, and confidence.

How Your Support Changes Lives
“Jack was never made to feel anything but loved and supported at school or different in a negative way. If anything, Miss Angie lifted him up. We had the biggest community of love and support you could dream of.”
Ashley
Teton County Early Care & Education
“The amazing CLC staff became like a family to us, starting with the moment they met Cash and us. We were so scared, and they were really a lifeline for us from the beginning. There was so much support for Cash and for our family throughout the years…Cash needed everything at first. They laughed with us and cried with us. Thanks to CLC, Cash was on track in all developmental areas and went on to kindergarten prepared and successful. When he graduated from CLC, we all cried with happiness.”

“The level of anxiety we experience as parents on a daily basis has diminished tremendously because of CLC. It’s extremely comforting to be able to trust the adults that are taking care of your child. The care Agon receives is innate and genuine; we never even have to ask for that. When we drop him off in the morning, we feel as confident as possible that he is in good hands and is being taken care of. We have immense gratitude for the whole team at CLC.”

“CLC has helped me get involved with other parents in the community and be a great mom.”
Guadalupe
Early Head Start & Head Start
“We walked into the Racoons classroom to the teachers with big open arms to hug my son and our family. I think of how instantly we felt a part of a community in a brand new place. From that moment, we saw growth as a family. We’ve been wrapped up in this wonderful village of CLC. The work, time, effort, and compassion the faculty and staff have put into not only our sons, but our family, has been life changing.”
Jessica
Teton County Early Care & Education
“Until kindergarten, every milestone in our young kids’ lives has either been a part of or has been supported by CLC. Our boys have grown into empathetic, understanding, well-mannered kids, and much of that learning comes from CLC.”
