Young Child Program

The Young Child Summer Enrichment Program for high-ability learners is sponsored by the  Center for the Education and Study of the Gifted, Talented, Creative at University of Northern Colorado. It is designed for children from age 4 to  those starting 4th grade, who show unusual talents and abilities. The program was initiated in 1980 for these high-potential, high-ability students and continues to be a successful program each year.

Learners are identified by professionals and are admitted on the basis of ability, development and achievement. The curriculum incorporates creativity, problem solving and development of high level thinking skills based on student interests and passions.
