We are relentlessly focused on kids and families at this time. Thank you for your patience as we continue to prioritize their well-being and safety above all else.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are limiting access to our campus.
Tennyson Center for Children believes in the future of Colorado’s kids.
Children who come to Tennyson have experienced unimaginable neglect and abuse, and many have never known a safe home or a trustworthy adult.
Tennyson’s goal is to ensure that kids and families are connected with the right resources to heal and thrive in their communities. Our team is relentlessly dedicated to serving our kids and preventing other children from experiencing neglect and abuse.
We serve children aged 0-18 through our residential, day treatment (school), and community-based therapeutic programs. We are committed to providing excellent care to all who walk through our doors.
We know that children who successfully leave Tennyson lead happy and productive lives. We trust that their deep healing will help Colorado communities in incredible ways.
Join us in supporting Colorado’s children, and awakening hope in their lives.

Giving Hope
Not every story is a happy one, but every story at Tennyson Center has one common element—hope. We can’t change the past, but as a community, we can help these children to have the mental tools they’ll need to go forward with their lives. To overcome, to achieve, to thrive.
