Does anyone have any reccomendations on a high school in the Northwest area of Denver or uncorpperated AdamsCounty for a teenege mom in the fall of '08? Looking for a school where a teenage mom can either take her baby with on site daycare or a school that specializes with teenage moms?
I don't know about NW Denver but in south Boulder, Fairview Sr. high does have a program like this.
Good luck for this girl....
Well I know Fairview in Boulder has a teen parenting program where the baby can go to school with the mom but don't know if that is too far to travel. Hope this helps.
I believe Horizon HS - Adams12 has what you need.
I have heard that Horizon High in Thornton has a teen mom program.
Hi A.,
I do not know of one in Adams County but do know of one in Denver. It is called Florence Critton. I am sure if you call them they might know of some schools if any in your area. The number for Florence Crittenton is ###-###-####. Hope this helps.
They're in Denver, but check out Parent Pathways- their website is parentpathways.org.
There is a alternative high school-McLain High School on the Red Rocks Community College campus. It is a fabulous school. I speak from experience. Half of the school is the "alternative" school, but then half is the high school for pregnant or teen moms. In addition to normal high school classes they have classes on child care, newborn care, prenatal needs and birthing classes and all sorts of specialized classes like that. They have on site daycare that is licensed and staffed by students from the community college specializing in early childhood education. The teachers really build-up their girls and let them know or remind them that they are wonderful young women, they did not ruin their lives and that even though their life has now become different and harder that they can still become amazing women and moms. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

I live right behind Horizon highschool, my son attends there, they have infant through pre-school, I've subbed in there a couple of times, and my daughter went to Pre-K there too, it's not only for teen moms, it's also for district employees children and the public to put their kids in. They have wonderful caring teachers and if it's a teen mother, they can go in to visit anytime. I would definately call now and try to get them in because it fills up quickly, especially when you have the district employees kids going too. The name is Bright Horizons.
Check out this site. I hope it helps.
