Founded in 1982, Anchor Center for Blind Children staff have taught visually impaired infants, young children and families, for over 32 years—providing hope and a nurturing environment where children reach their highest potential. Housed in a beautiful, architecturally modern building in Stapleton, Anchor Center is designed to address the unique learning styles of young children with vision impairments. Walk in the door and find specialized lighting, acoustics and a myriad of textures that help children find their way around. A stroll through the sensory gardens will delight all visitors as they experience bright colors, interesting textures and pleasing scents. Children from birth through five and their families are served at this magical place. Parents begin their journey by attending programs where they and their babies learn to simply enjoy each other and get used to seeing the world using senses other than vision. By the time children turn into toddlers they, like all children, begin to think the world revolves around them. Parents begin to step back and let their children take the lead. Observers of the preschool will see rambunctious children navigating their way using canes and utilizing early Braille skills to read. Learn more at www.anchorcenter.org
