Providing affordable high-quality childcare to Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley.

Mission

The mission of RFK is to nurture young children and support Roaring Fork families by providing a creative, respectful, intimage learning environment.

Philosophy

RFK focuses on the whole child, and allows children to experiment and explore in a setting with developmentally appropriate practices. We believe children learn best with hands-on experiences with nature, their community, home and school. Integrating these activities aids the children in becoming well adjusted and respectful of their surroundings.
