ECN refers families to childcare through our statewide referral system and we connect families to available tuition assistance. This program relies on our relationship with providers who update us regularly on openings, hours, rates, and other factors. When parents call our organization we use that database to find the center or family provider that best matches the parent and child's needs.
We also use that conversation with the parent to educate them about quality, licensing, and safety standards so that they are able to make informed decisions based on quality standards that are most in line with their values. We follow up the phone call with additional education material that we either mail or email to them.

Care is provided in a setting similar to school where there may be many classrooms, and children are usually grouped by their age. Child Care Centers and Preschools are regulated by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care. Your child is cared for in a home (not a relative's) that has been licensed by the state to provide child care.
Research indicates that 90% of a person's intellectual, emotional and social ability is formed by the age of three, making the early years a vitally important time in a child's life. When children begin school behind, they stay behind. High quality early learning programs can help close this gap.
