Denver’s Early Childhood Council awarded CIRCLE grant

Denver’s Early Childhood Council is excited to be among the multiple partnerships taking on early childhood challenges through the CIRCLE Initiative!

Our projects will seek to stabilize and grow the ECE workforce by providing career navigation for prospective and current early childhood educators, helping them advance their careers. We will also work on improving policies and systems to address barriers in ECE careers. Additionally, we will enhance and expand child care pre-licensing services with the goal of creating more child care slots and increasing access and availability for families seeking child care in Denver.

In partnership with the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, Early Milestones is leading the Community Innovation and Resilience for Care and Learning Equity (CIRCLE) Initiative. This initiative will provide nearly $23 million in grants to child care providers and other community, education, or governmental partners pursuing innovative solutions to challenges worsened by the pandemic.
