Big news for Boulder County families!💜
Last week, the Boulder County Commissioners voted to place a dedicated early childhood care and education property tax measure on the November ballot!

Team members from Wild Plum Center were in the room and stepped up to speak during public comment to share the real-world impact of early childhood funding.
The ongoing CCAP funding freeze has made it extremely difficult for families to access affordable care—even while classrooms and teachers are ready to serve them. We stand ready with open classrooms and passionate educators.

Passing this measure in November will provide critical funding to help bridge the gap, lower costs for families, support our workforce, and ensure every child gets the early start they deserve.

Stay tuned as we share more ways to get involved and support early childhood education this fall! 🗳✅

This week, two great articles highlighted the challenges families and child care providers are facing in Boulder County and the community-led plan to address them.

Childcare in Boulder County is almost double the state average. Providers look for new revenue sources as government help dwindles.
