Our Philosophy 

"Kids Are Special People" is located in the "Cathedral of the Rockies" and is the licensed and accredited early learning program of the First United Methodist Church. We are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. KASP was created to provide a safe, nurturing, Christian atmosphere in which children will learn, discover, explore and grow.

Creative, loving teachers encourage positive self-esteem, independence, problem solving, communication and socialization skills.  We believe a child's play is their work and encourage cognitive, small motor and large motor activities. 

KASP provides a Christian atmosphere of respect and loving appreciation for each child and for the wonders of God's world.  KASP recognizes and celebrates the unique backgrounds, gifts and differing abilities of all God's children.  Our guiding principle is our name- Kids Are Special People!
