Alice Bemis Taylor
Established on March 16, 1897, by 14 visionary women, with Alice Bemis Taylor at the helm, the Colorado Springs Day Nursery Association marked the beginning of our unwavering dedication to delivering comprehensive early education. Originally established to address the childcare needs of working women, our organization has evolved, adapting our name to Early Connections Learning Centers while maintaining an unyielding dedication to our mission.
