Por Dia is one of the oldest and largest preschools/daycares in the Cortez area.  We have contracted Colorado Preschool Program slots through the RE-1 school district and also accept child care assistance payments and Navajo Nation payments for child care.  We have a toddler program that serves children age 1-3, a preschool program for 3/4 year olds and an after school program with transportation from the area elementary schools.  We serve breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks and participate in the CACFP food program.

Por Dia strives to provide a healthy and safe atmosphere in which each child can experience positive play experiences, develop good social relationships, develop a good foundation for future academics,  and receive intellectual stimulation.  We currently utilize Teaching stragedies Gold for assessments, observations, lesson planning, etc.
