Elwell Early Learning Center & Milliken Early Learning Center

The Elwell Early Learning & Milliken Early Learning Center are dedicated in providing a structured learning environment through a curriculum that develops children’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language abilities. As a District, we believe that by offering an effective early childhood program, including full-day kindergarten, focused on alignment, coherency, and continuity of programming, we are providing students with a pathway of opportunity to foster lifelong learners who are prepared for the future.

Five Years of Building Futures Together

Spaces that Inspire. Learning that Lasts.

For the past five years, Weld RE-5J has worked hand-in-hand with our community to create environments where every learner—and every educator—feels a deep sense of belonging. With the support of the community and voters, the passing of the 2020 Bond allowed multiple capital projects and maintenance improvements to launch. These enhancements are not just about buildings; they are about opportunities for growth, passion, and preparing for the future. Together, we have ensured that our schools are safe, accessible, welcoming, and designed for collaboration and innovation. Every improvement reflects our shared commitment: to extend the life of our facilities, reduce costly repairs, and provide spaces that are developmentally appropriate, aesthetically pleasing, and ready for tomorrow. We are proud to celebrate that journey—and the community that made it possible.
