Dropout rates in Colorado are at an all-time high — nearly a third of children in public school now will not make it to high-school graduation.

For the past decade, abundant research has shown that improved support of families could counteract this crisis, and even boost children’s performance levels in school.

This is where we come in:

  • assisting parents in the hurdles of modern education
  • helping children recognize their families’ investment
  • aiding families to support each other
  • collaborating with schools to excite learning.

It takes a village to raise a child: sharing, working together, succeeding together for the excellence of the next generation.

Reading Wednesdays

Come join us every Wednesday in the Parent Room at Ignacio Elementary School--have lunch and share a book with a child. Rediscover the joy of reading from kids' eyes!

Family Nights

Each month PRCLC hosts a Family Night centered on a different theme: spotlighting a new children's book, fun activities, and a potluck dinner. For more information on this month's Family Night event, please see below.
