Two well-known Vail preschools, the Learning Tree and the ABC School, were opened in 1986. With a long history of providing wonderful preschool education for Vail's children, these two schools merged and became the Children’s Garden of Learning in 2002.At that time, CGL incorporated as a not-for-profit 501c3 and was temporarily housed at Red Sandstone Elementary in West Vail while its present home was being built. CGL moved into its current location, 129 N. Frontage Road, in 2005.
CGL benefitted tremendously from 25 years of knowledge and experience passed down from those two schools and is thankful to the Town of Vail, Eagle County and all of the volunteers within the CGL community and up and down the valley, for making this a reality.
