Summer Programs in Denver, CO

A summer of playful, hands-on learning and outdoor fun at 1080 Learning Center, for children ages 2 to 6 in the heart of Denver.

When the school year winds down, learning at 1080 keeps its playful spark. Our summer program trades worksheets for sunshine, giving children ages 2 to 6 long stretches of outdoor time, creative projects, water play, and community adventures, all led by the same caring teachers your family already knows and trusts.

Days are built around movement and discovery. Children explore the playground, cool off with sensory and water play on warm afternoons, make art, and build friendships through group games, with the gentle routines and low ratios that make 1080 feel like home.

Families who begin their early childhood journey with our dedicated infant care can enjoy consistent year-round care and familiar faces as their children grow into our seasonal offerings.

Spots are limited and part-time options may be available. Send an inquiry to ask about this summer’s availability and how to enroll.

From Our Families

Why Families Choose 1080

My kiddo has been part of 1080 for about 5 years. This center has a great staff that continues to nurture my child. My daughter gets so excited to go, and typically tries to run off to her class without even saying goodbye. (That's how happy she is to get there). 1080 is quality. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!

My daughter has been attending 1080 Learning Center for two years and the support they provide to the children is top notch. She is growing leaps and bounds, both intellectually and emotionally. They are an amazing school that I am so glad I found.

Our toddler has been attending 1080 Learning Center for the last year, and it has been a great experience. The staff are very accommodating, and our daughter clearly loves her teachers. We're routinely surprised/jealous of all the little songs, dances, skills and crafts that she gets up to when we're not around. On top of it, the center is very convenient to living or working in central Denver. I'd recommend to any of our friends.

We have two kids at 1080. We have been at other schools before and in comparison have been blown away by 1080's kindness, warmth, and professionalism. They are clear and communicative and every teacher is amazing! Big shoutout to Kelly and Jodi too for keeping things going on the back end. Best place ever!

We have been very happy with the care the facility and teachers provide for our baby at 1080. He started when he was 4 months old and he is now 8 months and thriving. The teachers do a great job of providing thorough details via the app of his daily schedule while there! They also do cute artistic activities with the babies and send you home with very cute projects 🙂 Thank you 1080!

We've had a wonderful experience with the infant classrooms at 1080 learning center. When our daughter started, she refused to take bottles and the teachers and directors were very compassionate and knowledgeable in their approach to helping her learn and giving her the smoothest transition possible. She is 10 months old now and is always happily busy playing at pickup. We're so grateful for the level of care and communication at this center!

We love this center and so does are sweet girl! She's been going since she was 3 months old and always has the biggest smile on her face when she sees her teachers. They are awesome!
