What court care does

Court Care of the Pikes Peak Region is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2003 that provides free, drop-in, licensed childcare for families attending court-related proceedings. It operates from inside the El Paso County Terry R. Harris Judicial Complex in Colorado Springs (270 S. Tejon St., Room S 140), serving families with business in the Fourth Judicial District Court (El Paso and Teller Counties) and the Colorado Springs Municipal Court. The organization's sole service line is in-person childcare for children ages six weeks to 14 years, delivered free of charge at the point of use.

The service is delivered through a long-standing operational partnership with Early Connections Learning Center, which supplies licensed childcare staffing and manages day-to-day operations. Court Care itself focuses on governance, fundraising, and stakeholder coordination, supported by a Board of Directors. The organization reports serving approximately 4,000 children annually and has published continuous annual reports and Form 990 filings from 2014 through 2023, with parent-reported satisfaction metrics of 99.84% on safety and care quality and 99.22% willingness to recommend.

Court Care's business model is donation-funded: as a 501(c)(3), it relies on contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations to cover operating costs, with no fees charged to families. Its go-to-market is purely direct service delivery at a single physical location, with awareness raised through organic social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and an email newsletter. There are no commercial revenue streams, paid pricing tiers, or enterprise contracts, and the geographic footprint is restricted to the Colorado Springs Metropolitan Area.
