Denver’s Early Childhood Council works to ensure our community’s youngest children and families have a strong local system that supports children’s healthy development, school readiness, and family well-being and stability.
We work with child care professionals, health and mental health care providers, local school districts, local leaders, and other partners to enhance the quality and availability of child care and early education opportunities for Denver children.
One of 35 regional Early Childhood Councils in Colorado, we serve as Denver’s early childhood hub. Denver’s Early Childhood Council connects child care professionals to training, funding, and other support so that they can focus on what they do best: provide high-quality care and learning environments for our youngest children.
We help professionals to stay current on the ever-changing landscape of scientific innovations in early childhood. We also help Denver’s child care programs navigate the complex landscape of early childhood regulations and requirements.
Denver’s Early Childhood Council works to build a strong and sustainable early childhood system that meets the needs of young children and families.
