🌱 The NoCo Kids Thrive FY26 Impact Report is here!

We’re excited to share a look at the progress, partnerships, and community investments helping expand access to affordable, high-quality child care for families in Larimer County.

From increasing access to child care funding to strengthening the early childhood workforce and supporting providers, this work is helping build a stronger early childhood system where children, families, and educators can thrive.

We’re grateful to our community partners, educators, families, and supporters who make this progress possible. Together, we’re making a difference for Larimer County’s youngest children and the people who care for them.

Did you know some Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) providers may be eligible for support to help provide nutritious meals and snacks for children in their care?

This fall, we’ll be sharing more information about the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and what FFN providers should know.

In Colorado, this program is administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and is known as the Colorado Food Program (CFP).

If you care for children for family, friends, or neighbors — or know someone who does — stay connected.

It’s conference season! Last week, our CEO Christina Taylor attended Worth More: Advancing ECE Compensation Summit in New Orleans.

📚The summit convened state leaders to generate political support, strengthen capacity, and advance practical solutions for improving early educator compensation.

Topics included:
⭐️ State and local strategies for financing compensation
⭐️ Elevating educator voice in compensation efforts
⭐️ Designing compensation initiatives to strengthen and support the workforce
⭐️ Using data to implement and evaluate compensation initiatives
⭐️ And much more!

"The Worth More Summit was a great opportunity to learn from communities across the country working to improve compensation for early educators. I was excited to share how Larimer County’s 1B investment is helping us put those ideas into action right here at home!" - Christina Taylor
