NEW Early Childhood Advisory Brief
Just published, a report called "Colorado Early Childhood System Planning: A Functional Analysis of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies and Early Childhood Councils" outlines steps toward a more effective early learning system supporting Colorado's families and children. The report grew out of a fruitful collaboration between Colorado's referral agencies and Early Childhood Council representatives, who jointly defined roles and functions within the early learning domain. The full report is available as a download (see yellow box at right).
