Learn. Explore. Wonder.
About us
Launchpad Enrichment
We are a tuition-free nature program, serving homeschool children ages 5-12 in beautiful Westcliffe, Colorado.
We believe in giving kids the time to explore outdoors, get creative, and work in community. Research has proven that children are happier when given space to grow outdoors. We aim to develop a sense of wonder, empathy, and creativity through intentional teaching and wonder-led learning.
We gather weekly with our trained Launchpad teachers to study and play in the natural world. Our nature-based curriculum integrates science, literature, art, handwork, building, and cooking to create a community of confident and caring nature learners. We serve families in Custer County and the surrounding areas.
