Parent involvement at The Colorado College Cheryl Schlessman Bennett Children’s Center enriches the program and delights the children. Your participation is always welcomed.

You may assist on field trips, come for a special cooking or art project, help make physical improvements at the Children’s Center, come share cultural or family traditions, organize fundraising activities or make a financial contribution, or by serving on The Colorado College Children’s Center Parent Advisory Committee
