Let’s give our kids from Parachute to Aspen a Strong Start so they can have a Bright Future
The Challenge
There simply isn’t enough childcare in our community, and the options that are available are too expensive for working families. From Parachute to Aspen, only 44% of kids under the age of five have access to a licensed child care spot. Families pay an average of $1,400 per month ($17,000 per year) for one kid.
The Plan
This November, voters in Garfield, Pitkin and SW Eagle Counties will be asked to approve an Early Childhood Service District to support:
- Tuition credits for families that reduce the cost of early childhood care and education.
- Provider grants that help create and grow more child care programs and increase wages for early childhood teachers.
