Mission

To increase quality, affordable, safe and supportive environments in all early childcare and learning settings to promote development and create nurturing relationships for young children (infants to kindergarten) thus contributing to a thriving community. 

Overview

We are located and support Clear Creek County, Colorado. Our Board consists of people with diverse backgrounds, from around the local and metro areas. Clear Creek County is a rural community located just 30 miles west of Denver. The demographics are highly diverse for a small community. Like many rural mountain areas quality, childcare is and has been a significant issue impacting families.  

Our Latest Project

Our latest project is the Childhood Action Plan. We call this AQUA. Affordable. Quality. Useful. Accessible.
