Living with children in Breckenridge real estate and second homes in Breckenridge Colorado neighborhoods is a lot easier now, thanks to the new Timberline Learning Center for infants through toddlers. Our youngest citizens of Breckenridge CO homes will be happily playing with their friends and learning new skills. The Timberline Learning Center has also been thoughtfully developed as a keen example of “green” commercial real estate in Breckenridge.
The non-profit facility is an important initiative of the Town of Breckenridge, who funded the design and construction. Designed like a custom home, Timberline is a state-of-the-art facility. The light and airy feel is partially due to the decision to build green. Other important features include a security system, storage, meeting rooms, and a multipurpose room.
Director Leslie Davis, a 15-year resident of Summit County, has worked the gamut with children—nanny, social worker, teacher, preschool director, board of directors, including years at the Carriage House and Little Red Schoolhouse. After a three year hiatus across the nation, Davis returned. According to the Summit Daily News, “Part of what she loves about the area is the community feel,” and quoting Davis, “It takes a village…it’s a community that nurtures youth.” The Town of Breckenridge consulted with Davis during the development of the Center to be sure to get all of the details right. Both the building and the programs reflect the community’s interests.
As a sustainable and energy efficient facility, the building incorporates several alternative energy options. Design allows more alternative energy technologies such as geothermal, solar and wind to be incorporated over time as the costs of installation are reduced by the industry. Right now, the building is oriented and architecturally designed with roof pitch to maximize solar gain. Other principles incorporated into the design include water use reduction, water-efficient landscaping, recycled materials, local materials, and construction waste management.
The Timberline Learning Center is located at the corner of Valley Brook Road and Airport Road beside the new police facility. It boosts the local capacity for early infants through toddlers by 67 spaces with enrollment, hiring, and creating a board of directors being the job of Leslie Davis. Welcome children!
