Adams County - Colorado

The ECPAC partnership strives to create a community that best supports young children and their families by working with community service providers, families, and other key stakeholders to address barriers and gaps in equitable access to high-quality, affordable services and supports in the areas of early learning, health, mental health, and family support and education. ECPAC partners believe that in order for young children in Adams County to have the best start in life, our community must work together to make it easier for families to equitably access available resources, services, and supports.

The recent election will bring lots of change, but one thing remains constant: The urgent need for Congress to take action on child care.

There’s broad support – and the next Congress has a unique opportunity to provide much-needed relief to families.

We're so grateful to every voter who took the time to learn about Amendment 87 and Prop NN, and to the volunteers, nonprofits, small business owners, and families who made the case for it.
- For too long, a family earning $50,000 has paid the same rate as the most profitable corporations. Coloradans chose to change that. Our work now is to make sure this measure delivers what voters were promised: real support for our schools, healthcare, and childcare, focused on making it possible for every Coloradan to thrive.
- It’s clear from the election results that voters want to prioritize education funding in Colorado. We’re glad that Prop NN was passed. We look forward to further shoring up the massive gaps in funding for K-12 schools and the early care and education system.

Thank you and we look forward to working with our community to help inform next steps as we are able.

ECPAC is building a community where all young children, their families, and early childhood professionals can reach their full potential.

We can best do this when we have adequate funding that supports our programming.

¡Pequeñas conversaciones, GRANDES aprendizajes!

¿Sabías que las conversaciones cotidianas son una parte importante del desarrollo del lenguaje y la lectoescritura de los niños?

Noviembre ofrece muchas oportunidades para que los niños hablen, compartan ideas, aprendan nuevas palabras y se relacionen con los demás. ¡Los educadores de la primera infancia pueden aprovechar estos momentos a lo largo del día!

Prueba estas sencillas estrategias en tu aula:

Describe lo que observas: “¡Tu hoja tiene bordes dentados! ¿Qué observas en la mía?”

Haz preguntas abiertas: "¿Qué crees que pasará después?"

Partiendo de las palabras de los niños: Si un niño dice: “¡Calabaza grande!”, podrías responder: “¡Sí! ¡Esa es una calabaza enorme y redonda!”.

Juega con las palabras: canta canciones, explora rimas e inventa palabras divertidas juntos.

Recuerda que apoyar el desarrollo del lenguaje no requiere una lección especial. Las conversaciones significativas durante el juego, las comidas, las rutinas y la hora del cuento crean oportunidades para el aprendizaje.

¡Explora las Pautas de Aprendizaje y Desarrollo Temprano de Colorado (ELDG) y el libro de actividades para obtener más ideas que apoyen el desarrollo de los niños a través de las experiencias cotidianas!

Little Conversations, BIG Learning!

Did you know everyday conversations are an important part of children's language and literacy development?

November brings lots of opportunities for children to talk, share ideas, learn new words, and connect with others. ECE educators can build on these moments throughout the day!

Try these simple strategies in your classroom:

Describe what you notice: “Your leaf has jagged edges! What do you notice about mine?”

Ask open-ended questions:“What do you think will happen next?”

Build on children's words: If a child says, “Big pumpkin!” you might respond, “Yes! That's a huge, round pumpkin!”

Play with words: Sing songs, explore rhymes, and make up silly words together.

Remember, supporting language development doesn't require a special lesson. Meaningful conversations during play, meals, routines, and storytime all create opportunities for learning.

Explore the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines (ELDGs) and PLAYbook for more ideas to support children's development through everyday experiences!
