Confluence Center of Colorado

Once built, the Confluence Center will become a distinctive fixture for land and water education, conservation, stewardship, restoration, and sustainable agriculture in our community, region and ultimately, nation.

The Confluence Center brings together mission-focused, nonpolitical organizations working at the confluence of land and water science, education, agriculture, and stewardship to magnify our impact and ensure the longevity of our natural resources for future generations.

At a time of increasing drought conditions and relocation to the West, the potential to scale work through greater collaboration at The Confluence Center will lead to a magnified impact regionally and nationally.

EUREKA! will be operating an employer-based preschool, STREAM Preschool, which will focus on the learning of Science, Technology, Rivers, Art, and Mathematics. STREAM preschool is envisioned to be a community asset, incentivizing workforce development, providing high-quality early childhood development and education with an early introduction to science learning, and supporting equitable access for underserved and underrepresented children with scholarship enrollment.

Providing this resource at the Center addresses early childhood learning and childcare access gaps in Mesa County while simultaneously supporting the broader mission of the Confluence Center by incorporating strong education and field-based learning principles enhanced by the Center's close proximity and access to the river and riverfront trail system.
