Big Horn Basin Children's Center

The Big Horn Basin Children’s Center, located in Thermopolis, Wyoming, serves as a specialized educational resource dedicated to supporting the developmental needs of young children in the region. Operating under the umbrella of the Northwest Wyoming Board of Cooperative Educational Services (NWBOCES), the center focuses on providing high-quality early childhood intervention and educational services. Its primary mission is to foster an inclusive environment where children—particularly those who may require extra support—can develop foundational social, cognitive, and physical skills to prepare them for their future schooling.

As part of the NWBOCES network, the center functions as a hub for collaborative educational practices, ensuring that families in the Big Horn Basin have access to specialized instruction and therapeutic support. By aligning with the broader mission of the NWBOCES, the facility emphasizes individualized learning plans and community-based outreach. The center plays a vital role in the Thermopolis community by acting as a bridge between early childhood developmental services and the formal K-12 public education system, helping to ensure that local students receive the necessary early intervention to succeed.
