Daycare and Childcare in Falcon, Colorado

> Falcon's rapid growth hasn't fully caught up in childcare. Plan your search early, especially for infants and toddlers.

Licensed center options

Falcon has a growing number of licensed childcare centers, especially along Highway 24 and Meridian Road. Options have increased with the population but waitlists for infants under 12 months are common at the most reputable centers.

In-home daycare

Licensed in-home daycares fill a meaningful portion of Falcon's childcare supply. These are often run by parents in the community who became providers because of the same shortage they experienced. Quality varies — do your Colorado licensing check through the state's childcare finder.

School-age before and after care

D49 schools offer before- and after-school programs at some locations. These fill quickly. Contact your assigned school as early as possible — summer before the school year is not too early.

Military family resources

Families connected to Peterson or Schriever SFBs have access to Child Development Centers (CDCs) on base. These are highly regarded and subsidized, but also have waitlists. Enroll as early as possible.

What the search timeline looks like

If you're relocating with an infant and need care before 6 months old, start your search 3–6 months before your move date. This is not a casual last-minute process in Falcon.
