Hello, I'm Gary Allen

Early childhood work is people work.

My passion is helping early childhood programs create environments where children, educators, and families can thrive.

A Colorado native, born and raised, I am proud to support early childhood educators, leaders, and programs throughout the Greater Denver Metro Area and the communities I have always called home.

Education Master of Arts in Education Specialization in Early Childhood Education Bachelor of Arts Early Childhood Education Administration

I hold a Master of Arts in Education with a specialization in Early Childhood Education, bringing advanced academic preparation together with extensive hands-on experience in early childhood education and program leadership.

I have dedicated my career to supporting child care centers, preschool programs, and early learning professionals through coaching, training, and strategic consultation.

My background includes program management, staff development, enrollment growth, family engagement, and operational excellence, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the challenges and opportunities that early childhood programs face every day.

The belief behind the work

Strong leadership. Empowered educators. High-quality learning environments.

Creative Minds Early Childhood Consulting was built on the belief that those three things are the foundation of successful programs.

Whether providing professional development, leadership coaching, program assessments, licensing support, or CPR and First Aid training, the goal is to deliver practical solutions that create lasting impact.

I am committed to helping early childhood professionals strengthen their programs, build confident teams, and provide exceptional experiences for the children and families they serve.

“Together, we can create brighter futures, one child, one educator, and one program at a time.”
