For 3+ years, COVID-19 aid was instrumental in supporting Colorado #ChildCare centers. @ChalkbeatCO reports child care professionals can tap into other funding sources to continue providing quality child care, including the universal preschool program: buff.ly/414HwTi.

A new report by @firstfiveyears shows that preschool enrollment has yet to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Federal & state policymakers must ensure continued support so all families can access high-quality early childhood education.
