If you’ve tried to apply for child care assistance recently, a message on your county’s human services website may have sent chills down your spine: Due to budgetary constraints, the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program is on an enrollment freeze.
Colorado’s groundbreaking new universal preschool program began implementation last month, and the uptake has been unprecedented. In just its first year, the program will serve 60%–– over 40,000––of Colorado four-year-olds and their families. The demand for quality preschool services shows just how great a need universal pre-k is serving in the state, even as the brand-new program gets its legs under it.
If you’re not one of the millions of families with children under age 5 who struggle to find and pay for quality childcare on a normal day – a crisis in its own right – you might have missed the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is obliterating the childcare industry as we know it.
