Child care is an essential part to a thriving community, allowing children to be cared for and educated while families are working.  COVID-19 has posed unique challenges for families regarding child care with many disruptions in both the need for childcare and the availability of child care. What has not changed is the importance of the availability of child care and the quality of the care that we are able to give to our youngest learners.

New data reveals that Colorado is at risk of losing 55 percent of its child care supply without significant public investment to stabilize the early education and child care industry. As we begin to open up our community, it is vital to assess the early education/child care needs of families NOW in order to rebuild the supply of this vital service.
