Get Involved

Colorado’s fragmented early childhood system makes it difficult for families and providers to create the quality early childhood experiences kids need to thrive. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. You can help by letting your elected officials know you support House Bill 22-1295.

Based on the unanimously-approved recommendations from the Early Childhood Leadership Commission, House Bill 22-1295 ensures families and providers access to:

  • One universal, accountable preschool program, and more hours for families who need them.
  • One simple enrollment application for early childhood services, matching families to funding and providers.
  • One high-quality early childhood system for all early childhood programs and services.

Let your legislators know you you support HB22-1295, which enacts these universally-approved recommendations.
