Coloradans overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
In 2021, we advocated for state legislation to establish the Colorado Department of Early Childhood to expand quality, equitable, early childhood opportunities for children in Colorado.
In 2020, we helped to pass Proposition EE, securing universal, voluntary preschool for every four-year-old in Colorado.
In 2019, we helped ensure universal kindergarten for all Colorado families. Now we are committed to expanding access to high-quality preschool.
Join us to help all children in Colorado succeed in school and life.

President Biden understands this, and that’s why his Build Back Better Plan includes a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s childcare and early education system. We need to rally around this plan to ensure Congress gets on board.
