Durango North Head Start

LaPlata County
Durango, Colorado

Durango, CO — Tri-County Head Start (operated by Durango 4C Council) broke ground for its first-ever new facility on Friday, June 6th at 10:00 AM at 1917 E. 3rd Avenue, directly across from the existing Durango North Head Start Center.

This marks a historic milestone for Tri-County Head Start as the first newly constructed facility in its 50-year history of serving the Durango community. Children, families, staff, and community partners will join together in celebration of this long-anticipated expansion.

The project has been made possible thanks to the dedication of Tri-County Head Start leadership, in collaboration with Tracy Reynolds of  Reynolds & Ash Associates, and with vital support from the Regional Head Start Office and the Office of Head Start within the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Additionally, the City of Durango has played a key role by committing to a 30-year land lease at the new site.

“Quality, affordable, and reliable child care is essential to Durango’s workforce and future,” said Lisa Stone, Executive Director of Tri-County Head Start. “This new facility reflects our deep commitment to the children and families of this community. We’re proud to mark this exciting next chapter in our story.”
