Background Statement
Every Child Deserves a Strong Start. You Can Help Make It Possible.
A child's future is shaped long before their first day of kindergarten. At CPCD (Community Partnership for Child Development), we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of their family's circumstances.
Since 1987, CPCD has been opening doors to brighter futures for children and families across El Paso County. What began as a program serving 300 children has grown into a trusted community resource supporting approximately 1,100 children and their families each year.
Through high-quality early childhood education, family resources, and comprehensive support services, CPCD helps children build the foundation for lifelong learning while empowering parents and caregivers to create stronger, more stable futures.
Our work extends beyond the classroom. For families navigating financial hardship, housing instability, or food insecurity, CPCD provides connections to critical resources and a community of support. We are also proud to serve military-connected children and families, including through our classroom located on Fort Carson.
But the need is greater than the resources available. That's where you come in.
Your generosity helps CPCD provide enriching learning experiences, safe and nurturing classrooms, essential educational materials, and family support that can make a lasting difference.
When you give to CPCD, you're doing more than supporting early childhood education. You're investing in a child's potential, strengthening families, and helping build a brighter future for our entire community.
This Colorado Gives Day, help us open more doors to opportunity. Because every child deserves a strong start, and every strong start helps build a stronger community.
