Mapleton Early Childhood Coalition

The Mapleton Early Childhood Center (ECC) is a proposal for rehabilitation and revitalization of the vacant historic Mapleton School, located at 9th and Mapleton in Boulder, for use as an early childhood center. The center will provide quality, affordable care, education, and support services for young children and their families of all income levels. The project is a collaborative effort of the City of Boulder, Boulder County, Boulder Valley School District, Early Childhood Council of Boulder County, and the Jared Polis Foundation.

Phase I of the Mapleton ECC project was the preparation of a Feasibility Study. This was completed in May 2008. Currently the Coalition is working on Phase II, a design phase that will include five elements: a financing plan, business plan, community outreach plan, service providers plan, and schematic architectural plans. This phase is projected to be completed by Winter 2010. A proposal will be presented to the Boulder Valley School District Board and Boulder City Council at the completion of Phase II.
