Jefferson County Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting Program

Our Mission: Provide a comprehensive program to support and empower young parents through family health and child development education, teaching parenting practices and skills, early childhood education, and family advocacy.

**If you are currently pregnant or parenting and interested in applying to McLain, please contact Katy Waskey at 303.982.7461

JCAPPP allows students to attend high school full time and receive credit toward their high school diploma while also receiving parenting support. Additionally, students have the opportunity to bring their child to the fully licensed, on-site Early Learning Center while at school.

Upon enrolling in JCAPPP, students will take high school core classes in addition to Labor & Delivery, Child Development, and Family Living & Parenting courses, which are required for all JCAPPP students. A full-time registered nurse is on site to assist with medical concerns and breastfeeding support. 

 We accept students at the beginning of the school year as well as throughout the school year.

We'd love to meet you and give you a tour our program! Call Katy Waskey at 303.982.7431.
