Community Partnership for Child Development prepares more than 1,900 of these children and their families for success in school and life through Head Start, Early Head Start and Colorado Preschool Program. Every dollar spent on a child's participation in Head Start yields an economic return of $7 to $10.

Why Early Childhood Education?

Right now, 12,773 children in El Paso County are living in poverty. These children are more likely to later drop out of school, commit crimes, become teen parents and depend on public assistance. This can all be changed with an early childhood education and family support. Investing in children birth to age five will make sure El Paso County has a bright future.
