Why is a new building necessary?

Our current facility has served us well, but as our community’s needs grow, so must we. Our new building will provide:


Increased accessibility – More parking, designated pick-up/drop-off areas, and an improved layout for seamless transitions.

Tailored spaces – Separate wings for Early Childhood and School-Age Programs, plus age-appropriate playgrounds.

Enhanced sensory support – A year-round sensory garden and specialized accommodations for children with sensory impairments.

Greater capacity – More overnight care rooms and expanded programming.

Improved safety – Better interior traffic flow and centralized communication.

Better resources for staff & volunteers – A dedicated break space and more storage for essential equipment.

This new facility will allow us to serve more families while providing the highest quality of care in a thoughtfully designed space.

How will the new building benefit my family?

Our new facility is designed with families in mind—offering modernized spaces, enhanced programming, and more opportunities for growth, learning, and fun. With expanded capacity and improved accessibility, we can ensure that every child receives the support they need in a safe, nurturing environment.

How is the building being funded?

The campaign is funded through generous donations from individuals, businesses, and grants. Additionally, we have been approved for a loan from Bank of Colorado, and NoCo Foundation has awarded us an Impact Investment Loan. We are committed to securing the necessary funds without compromising the quality of care we currently provide.

Will this impact Respite Care’s current operations?

No, our services will continue as usual throughout the construction process. Construction will be carefully planned to minimize any disruptions to families.

When will the new building be ready?

We anticipate completing the new facility in February 2026 and moving in shortly after. We will provide regular updates on the timeline via our website, emails, and social media.

What will happen to the current facility on Lemay Ave?

Our Lemay Ave building is under contract. We will continue operating there until our new facility is complete.

What will the transition to the new facility look like for families?

We understand that transitions can be challenging, so we are committed to making this process as smooth as possible. Here is what you can expect:


Advance Notice – Families will receive updates well before key milestones.

Familiarization Events – Tours, open houses, and orientation sessions will help families get comfortable in the new space.

Personalized Support – Children who may need extra assistance adjusting will have individualized transition plans.

Where will the new building be located?

The new facility will be in Timnath, within the Ladera Development, southeast of Costco and Floor & Decor.

Will buses transport children to the new facility?

Busing availability will depend on the child’s location within the new facility’s attendance area.

How will current services be affected (overnight care, Summer Day Camp, etc.)?

The new building will allow us to expand overnight care by adding additional overnight rooms and increasing capacity. Services offered at our current facility will not be affected by construction. We will continue to run Day Camp, Horse Camp, Wilderness Camp, and Overnight Care.

Will there be a waitlist at the new facility?

Yes, but not for existing families. The new facility will allow us to nearly triple our capacity, however, we are growing with care. The growth will happen over time as our operating budget and staffing allow.

Will eligibility criteria change in the new facility?

No, our eligibility requirements will remain the same.

Will the same staff be working at the new facility?

Yes, our dedicated team will transition to the new facility to continue providing the highest level of care.

When will we be moving in?

We expect to move in late February or early March 2026.

Will Respite Care be closed while transitioning to the new facility?

Our goal is to minimize closure to no more than one week. Families will receive advance communication as we finalize transition plans.

Who will keep me informed about the transition?

Our Program Team will provide updates and answer any questions as the move approaches.

How can I help my child prepare for this transition?

Our Program Team will offer guidance, resources, and individualized transition plans for children who may need extra support adjusting to the new facility.
