About Most Precious Blood Early Learning Center
A Catholic Preschool designed to provide warm, loving care, a stimulating educational curriculum and a full range of services in support of all families. Most Precious Blood Early Learning Center provides a warm and loving Catholic centered environment where children can develop to their fullest potential spiritually, emotionally, socially, creatively, intellectually, and physically. We believe early childhood education is a joint ministry that involves the parish, the community, the staff, the family and the child.
“We are committed to nourishing an atmosphere that enhances the Catholic educational, spiritual and ministerial growth of all its members to share our gifts with one another and with the greater community in Christ’s spirit of service.” Most Precious Blood Parish opened the doors in 1985 to our child care ministry. The purpose of our center is to provide a high quality learning program in an atmosphere of Catholic faith, love and nurturing.
The State of Colorado Department of Human Services Division of Child Care and the City and County of Denver license the center for 100 children daily. All staff meets or exceeds state-mandated regulations.

A Message from the ELC Director
Scripture tells us “we love, because God first loved us” (1 John 4:20 RSV). Although children are born with the capacity to love, they need the experience of being loved if they are to become loving people.
We believe early childhood education is an integral part of our parish mission and ministry and is a significant avenue for outreach in the community. Early childhood education provides a program designed for support, encouragement, and opportunities that enhance the educational and developmental processes already present in the home. Children learn through experimentation and exploration. We plan developmentally appropriate activities and value play as an avenue for learning. We believe each child is unique and special and we encourage self-esteem and individuality.
