ZACH’S PLACE AT THE LAURIE HILLYARD FAMILY CENTER

Strong, healthy families are at the core of our goals and values. Zach’s Place at the Laurie Hillyard Family Center is one of only two licensed child care facilities in the state of Colorado that offers specialized child and respite care for youth with disabilities ages 2.5 – 18.  We provide a break and support that parents need, while giving the child a chance for fun and challenging activities in a learning environment.

Zach’s Place opened its doors in 1998 to provide families in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas a safe place for respite care for parents to entrust their child(ren) with disabilities and their siblings without regard to race, religion, or ethnicity.

In November 2015, we officially named the facility Zach’s Place at The Laurie Hillyard Family Center.  The facilities’ new name is in honor of Laurie Hillyard, a woman with a disability who is loved and cherished by her family, the descendants of the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation founders.  Click here to read about Laurie’s story.
