Early Childhood Shared Measures highlight the collective impact of ECCs on Colorado’s early childhood system
The Early Childhood Shared Measures were collaboratively developed by Early Childhood Councils (ECCs), the Early Childhood Councils Leadership Alliance (ECCLA), and the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) through the Local Organizational Capacity work of the Preschool Development Grant (Colorado Shines Brighter Birth-Five Strategic Plan strategy 1.2.4).
Elevating this collective impact to policymakers, funders, and community members will establish a clear story of the value ECCs bring to their communities and the state.
