At STEM Child Care, we believe that raising the next generation takes a village. That’s why we go beyond the classroom to build meaningful partnerships with local businesses and community programs that share our mission of supporting children and families. From helping fight food insecurity to advocating for better child care systems, we are committed to making a difference both inside and outside our preschool doors.

Giving Back: Our Partnership with The Help & Hope Center

Each year, we proudly partner with The Help & Hope Center, a local food bank dedicated to assisting families in need. Through food drives, donation collections, and volunteer efforts, our preschool community comes together to help ensure that no child in Castle Rock goes hungry.

We involve our students and families in this effort by teaching the importance of kindness, generosity, and community service. Whether it’s collecting non-perishable goods or participating in hands-on volunteer opportunities, we make it a priority to show our little learners the power of giving back.

Advocating for Early Childhood Education with EPIC

We don’t just focus on early education within our own walls—we also work to improve the child care system as a whole. Our Founder, Colin Stewart, is an active board member and advocate with EPIC (Executives Partnering to Invest in Children). EPIC is a coalition of business leaders who recognize the importance of high-quality early education and work together to drive positive change in child care policies, accessibility, and funding.

Through his involvement, Colin helps spread awareness about the challenges families face in finding quality child care and collaborates with other professionals to develop solutions that benefit children, educators, and working parents alike. His leadership ensures that STEM Child Care is always at the forefront of best practices and innovation in early education.

Building Stronger Communities Through Local Partnerships

Beyond these key partnerships, we actively seek opportunities to collaborate with local businesses and programs that align with our mission. Whether it’s inviting community professionals to speak to our students, organizing on-site field trips, or working with other organizations to enhance our curriculum, we believe that connecting with our community strengthens the learning experience for our students.

By fostering these partnerships, we aim to:

• Teach children the value of community and service.
• Support families in need through local outreach programs.
• Advocate for improvements in early childhood education.
• Connect with businesses that share our vision for a brighter future.
