Boulder Day Nursery Association was recently named the 74th oldest child care organization in North America by the education journal Exchange. Since 1917, Boulder Day Nursery has provided working families with high quality early childhood programs, and been a leader in advocating for issues of concern to children and families. Whether you're a parent looking for child care, or interested in finding out how you can help support our mission, they invite you to browse through their website, and perhaps start with the 'Why Boulder Day Nursery' section on the navigation menu above.
The Boulder Day Nursery also utilizes a style of curriculum based on the book The Storybook Journey. This curriculum focuses on children's literature, poems, songs, rhymes and the creative endeavors of the children and staff. It provides the core of our weekly planning including events of special interest.

The Storybook Journey provides a foundation for emergent literacy and a positive experience for group and individual participation, and tremendously enhances the experience of the children enrolled in this program. It also provides an opportunity to effectively address emotional difficulties that can begin to emerge in at-risk populations in this age group.
Child care in the Boulder area is among the most expensive in the country. Most of the child care centers uses child care software for managing their activities. Unfortunately cost is in no way a guarantee of quality. According to the national Cost, Quality, and Child Outcomes in Child Care Centers Study (a large portion of which was done right here in Boulder), child care at most centers in Colorado is poor to mediocre, with almost half of the infant and toddler rooms having poor quality.

Additionally, the study found that in Colorado: only 1 in 7 centers provide a level of quality that promotes healthy development; child care at 1 in 8 centers threatens health and safety; 40% of infant and toddler rooms were observed to threaten health and safety; only 1 in 12 infant and toddler centers are providing developmentally appropriate care; and, 7 in 10 centers are providing mediocre quality care which will compromise children’s ability to enter school ready to learn.
