❤️ Strong Early Childcare Systems = Strong Communities ❤️

We’re proud of the rural collaboration happening across our communities and grateful to the legislators and candidates who joined us to listen, learn, and advocate for strong childcare and early childhood supports at ECHO & Family Center Early Childhood Council’s Legislative Symposium.

Thank you to the legislators and candidates for hearing our stories and advocating for our systems and families.

Starpoint continues to provide Early Head Start, Universal Preschool, and wrap around childcare at our SPIN Early Childhood Education Center, helping children and families thrive throughout our community.

Because when we invest in our youngest children and the people who care for them, we invest in everyone.

⭐🍰 Building Independence, One Recipe at a Time! 🍰⭐

Individuals in our services are getting hands-on in the kitchen through cooking classes designed to build practical skills, confidence, and independence. From preparing ingredients to learning kitchen safety and making meals, each new skill helps create more opportunities to live as independently as possible in our community.

We’re proud to offer experiences like these that turn everyday activities into opportunities to learn, grow, and realize dreams! ⭐⭐

We want to let our community know that, unfortunately, this year's Tip-A-Cop event at Chili's in Canon City has been canceled.

Due to the ongoing response to the Aspen Acres Fire, the Canon City Police Department has been assisting other agencies with roadblocks and emergency response efforts. With staffing stretched thin, CCPD has made the difficult decision to withdraw from this year's event.

While we're disappointed, we completely understand and support this decision. We are incredibly grateful to the officers of CCPD and all of the first responders who are working tirelessly to keep our community safe during this challenging time. Thank you for your dedication, sacrifice, and service.

At Starpoint, our hearts are with everyone affected by the Aspen Acres Fire. We remain committed to supporting our community however we can. If there is anything we can do to help you or your family during this time, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for your understanding, and please join us in keeping all of our first responders and those impacted by the fire in your thoughts.
