Wild Plum Center for Young Children and Families envisions a future in which all children are provided equal opportunities for optimal learning and growth, and all parents are empowered to meet the needs of their children.

Wild Plum Center prepares children for a lifetime of learning and self-sufficiency by providing a comprehensive, individualized approach to early learning and family wellness.

Since 1965, Wild Plum Center has provided early childhood education and development services to Longmont's children and families living below the federal poverty level. Serving 263 families each year, we offer a full range of services from prenatal through age five, including a curriculum-based preschool, parent education and support, mental health services, and health and nutrition support
