Founded in 1987, CPCD was spun-off from Catholic Charities to simply manage the Head Start program in El Paso County. At that time, CPCD was funded to serve 300 children. We now reach nearly six times that number through Head Start, Early Head Start and the Colorado Preschool Program. CPCD now serves 1,801 families with children, ages 0-5, who are living in limited-income households, have special

needs or are experiencing other difficult circumstances that could challenge their readiness for kindergarten. The agency operates 60+ classrooms in six local school districts. In addition to education, CPCD provides health, behavioral health, transportation, nutrition, home visits and family services. CPCD currently employs approximately 350 staff members. Both of these numbers may increase as we continue our ongoing expansion.

This week’s Site Partner Spotlight shines on Little Tykes Learning Center, a valued partner dedicated to helping children get a strong start in life.

For nearly 10 years, Little Tykes Learning Center and CPCD have worked together to provide high-quality early childhood services to local families. Through this partnership, 16 children received services and support each day over the past year, giving them opportunities to learn, grow, and build the foundation for future success.

Strong partnerships help make early childhood education more accessible and impactful for the children and families we serve. We're grateful for organizations like Little Tykes that share our commitment to supporting young learners during these critical early years.

Thank you, Little Tykes Learning Center, for nearly a decade of partnership and for helping children in our community thrive!

At CPCD, we're committed to helping children thrive not just in the classroom, but in every aspect of their lives. That's why we're sharing this important dog safety information from our friends at Children's Hospital Colorado.

Dog bites are one of the most common injuries involving children, but many incidents can be prevented through education, supervision, and safe interactions with pets.

Help keep children safe by reminding them to:
Always ask permission before petting a dog
Never disturb a dog while it's eating or sleeping
Give dogs space when they seem scared or nervous
Let a dog approach you first

Together, we can help children build positive, safe relationships with the animals they love!
