Child Care

Colorado has fewer licensed in-home daycares than it did before the pandemic. The drop has been particularly steep in communities like Steamboat Springs.

A judge has ruled that President Donald Trump’s administration cannot block child care and other federal social service money from flowing to five states for now.

Without federal assistance for child care, some parents say they will need to leave jobs.

The providers and advocates said that if the funds stay frozen, it will have a devastating impact on not only thousands of Colorado families but also the state's economy.
