Coloradans overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.

While a return to school this week may be routine for kids and parents, many families in Mesa County and thousands more across Colorado have a new cause for celebration this month: full-day kindergarten.
Providing quality early learning for Colorado’s youngest learners is a powerful step toward establishing equity in education and leveling the playing field for Colorado’s kids.
As an educator, I know how critical high-quality early learning is to academic success. So, I am excited that full-day kindergarten legislation has received strong bipartisan support and will soon be signed into law by Gov. Polis.
SCAN commissioned a bipartisan polling team to conduct survey research among general election voters
in five states to gauge their opinions about early childhood education and early intervention policies.
In addition to general election voters, SCAN conducted interviews among both Democratic and Republican primary voters.
The results showed that legislators and candidates looking for issues with broad appeal that can meaningfully
improve the lives of their constituents should invest in our youngest learners and early intervention programs.
