Support Innovation | Shape the Future of A Child
Denver’s Early Childhood Council believes all children deserve access to high-quality early care and learning. Your support helps ensure that Denver's youngest children have access to a strong local system that supports healthy development, school readiness, and family well-being and stability.
Why does early childhood matter? Early childhood experiences from birth to age 5 affect the development of the brain’s architecture, which provides the foundation for all future learning, behavior, and health. In particular, this period of rapid brain development is when billions of connections between individual neurons are established. Mechanisms and interventions to support this development must be available from birth.
The experiences children have early in life play a crucial role in the development of the brain. Exposure to positive factors, such as exceptionally stable and responsive relationships with parents and caregivers in safe and supportive environments, promotes positive development.
How can you help ensure higher-quality experiences for young children? The research is clear: the quality of the early learning environment is directly tied to the quality of the classroom. Denver's Early Childhood Council is at the forefront of providing tools, skills, and resources so that children can thrive.
Your donation will directly support and improve Denver's early learning environments for children.

Denver's Early Childhood Council elevates the early childhood field through innovative and inclusive leadership, services, and solutions.
Denver's Early Childhood Council was established in 1992 as the only formal organization in Denver County charged with coordinating the complex early learning ecosystems that support children and families by connecting hundreds of programs and providers with the resources, tools, and guidance they need to create safe, stable, and supportive environments where young children can thrive. Through community-based initiatives aimed at expanding high-quality child care and education initiatives across 78 neighborhoods we work with a wide range of care settings – from community-based centers and Head Start programs to preschools, home-based providers, before- and after-school programs, community centers, and even residential communal living spaces serving families experiencing housing instability. We directly impact the quality of care and education that young children receive, ultimately affecting their development, school readiness, and future success through our structured programming that benefits children, families, educators, and the economy through systematic innovations, powerful tools that drive results, and evidence-based resources that are effective instruments for change in future generations locally.
