Building on its longstanding commitment to serving children and families, Colorado is creating a new unified state department to oversee early childhood care and education, including the state’s voter-approved universal preschool program. And we want to hear from you! From Oct.11-15, 2021, state leaders and community stakeholders will host in-person and virtual listening sessions across the state to share progress in this process, to date, and to collect feedback from the public. Visit www.earlychildhoodcolorado.org/tour to learn more and to register for an event near you.

We can do more together than we can on our own. It’s time for us to take the next step forward in providing services to children and families. #HeadStartForward
