The property that has been Alaya Preschool’s home for nearly 50 years is going to be sold.
& we are going to save it.
Check out our progress!
Help Us Unlock a $1,000,000 Gift!
We are thrilled to share that The Echo Fund has pledged $1 million toward Alaya Preschool’s $2.2 million capital campaign to purchase and preserve our beloved school property.
This transformative gift comes with a challenge:
The Echo Fund will release the $1 million once Alaya raises the first $1.2 million milestone of the campaign.
Help us raise the final $500,000, unlock the
$1 million Echo Fund pledge,
and secure Alaya’s forever home.
For nearly 50 years, Alaya Preschool has been a cornerstone of early childhood education in Boulder County.
It has served generations of children, offering a nurturing environment that fosters not only academic readiness, but also emotional, social, and personal growth.
Now, we stand at a pivotal moment where we have the opportunity to ensure this legacy continues for future generations by securing the property that has been Alaya’s home for decades.
With the help of Alaya’s community of families both past and present, supporters from the greater Boulder community, and the Shambhala community, we must raise $2.2 million by October 2026.
Alaya Preschool is a qualified childcare facility for the State of Colorado, which means that your donation up to $200,000, qualifies for a 50% Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit (CCCC).

“Alaya has been true to its Sanskrit meaning, the nurturing ground of all beautiful seeds of basic goodness.
As an Alaya supporter, I treasure this preschool as the cultural and educational ground for good human society that we all yearn for so much.
My children and grandchildren flourished and discovered their most marvelous qualities in their years at Alaya, and have carried those qualities into their entire lives.
Let’s not lose this precious resource!”
