Sunbird ABA team in Fort Collins — serving you
ABA therapy at daycare in Fort Collins, CO
BCBA-led aBA at daycare for Fort Collins families — at home, at daycare, or by video — with a free insurance check and a real person on the phone.
How ABA at daycare works in Fort Collins
With your written consent and your daycare's agreement, your child's ABA therapist joins them during the normal day — circle time, free play, snack, transitions. Your BCBA shares strategies with the teachers, so the same supports carry through even when we're not in the room.
Every Fort Collins daycare works a little differently, and sessions depend on the daycare agreeing to host them. Tell us where your child spends the day; we're happy to make the first call to the director ourselves. More on our daycare-based support page.
Why so many Fort Collins families ask about daycare sessions
In Fort Collins, about 71% of children under 6 live in homes where every parent works — about 5,695 young kids whose weekday hours are mostly daycare hours. For those families, therapy that happens where the child already is can be the difference between fitting ABA in and not.
Daycare is also where many of the skills ABA builds actually get tested: joining a group, waiting a turn, handling a change in plans, asking for help. Many families pair daycare sessions with in-home ABA for evenings and home routines.
Fort Collins schools and ABA
Most Fort Collins public-school students attend Poudre School District R-1 (about 30,000 students). If your child has an IEP or a school evaluation, share it with your BCBA: when home goals and school goals line up, kids hear the same expectations in both places and progress tends to stick.

- The call and the benefit check. Tell us your ZIP code and what you're seeing. Send a photo of your insurance card and we'll explain your ABA coverage in plain English.
- Diagnosis paperwork. Have a diagnosis already? Send the report. Still waiting on one? We'll help you find an evaluation in Fort Collins and get everything else ready meanwhile.
- The BCBA assessment. A BCBA from our Fort Collins team meets your child at home and, with permission, at daycare, talks with you about goals, and writes a plan with you — not for you.
- Sessions begin at your child's daycare. Your child's ABA therapist starts regular one-on-one sessions, and parent coaching is built in from day one.
