Program areas at DECC

Quality initiatives - our quality initiatives include the Colorado shines quality improvement program (csqi), Early head start (ehs) and the Denver preschool program (dpp). These programs enhance quality in Early Childhood education to improve the school readiness of Denver children birth to five years old. Early Childhood professionals receive targeted coaching, training, qualified classroom learning materials and technology resources to support their practice and quality of the learning environments. In fy19-20, the Council coordinated and provided over 1,945 hours of on-site coaching to support best practice and new skill building for Early Childhood professionals across Denver, including increased focus on business and financial practices. The Council also managed over $1.3 million dollars of eligible quality investments in childcare programs for workforce development, learning environments, technology, and teacher incentives. All childcare programs participating in quality initiatives are required to be quality rated through the state Colorado shines quality rating and improvement system. Most programs recognize gains in quality as a result of the supports and resources provided.
Career pathways - career pathways and the Denver child care resource & referral program expand access to high quality training programs that provide professional development on industry best practice and evidence-based curriculum to help Early Childhood professionals increase their knowledge and apply it in the classroom. Professional development offerings are often paired with on-site coaching that enhances the application and effectiveness of the delivered content. To expand access to high-quality trainings and information sessions, the Council braids funding to offer additional community slots to all Denver Early Childhood education professionals working with children ages 0-5, including family home care providers, teachers and directors at Early learning centers, and other Early Childhood stakeholders and caregivers.

Program activities include hosting monthly policy taskforce groups, convening home visitation partners, supporting implementation of county-wide initiatives and participation in state-wide and national Early Childhood leadership coalitions.
