The intent was that helping these children at an early age could result in lower dropout rates, less dependence on public assistance, and less involvement with criminal activities. 

CPKP provides funding to establish quality early childhood education programs that serve children eligible to enroll in kindergarten in the following year. A vital component of CPKP is to strengthen families and support them as participants in their child’s education."/>

Family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) child care is a widely used form of care for young children in the United States, particularly for children birth through age 2. It accounts for 46 percent of the hours these youngest children spend in nonparental care. Thirty-three experts from a range of research, policy, and practice organizations came together for a symposium on FFN care on November 2, 2005 entitled: Improving Family, Friend, and Neighbor Care: Toward a National Strategy. (See Appendix B for a participant list.) This symposium report outlines the picture of current FFN research, practice, and policy that emerged and identifies next steps to strengthen all three areas. A major step that would support practice, policy, and research alike is to increase public awareness of the widespread use of FFN care by families of all economic levels and ethnicities. The goals of the symposium were to: 
■ Review research, policy, and program issues related to improving the quality of family, friend, and neighbor care for children from infancy through school-age. 
■ Develop a set of recommendations for state and federal action, and foundation and other private sector initiatives to improve policies, expand research, and improve programming for young children and their families using FFN care.

State Policy Questions Regarding Family, Friend, and Neighbor Child Care
Note: This survey was developed by Helen Blank of the National Women’s Law Center.
For further information, phone 202-319-3036, or e-mail: HBlank@nwlc.org.
■ What is your state’s threshold for regulated family child care? For example: How many children is a provider allowed to care for before being required to be regulated (and does this count related children and how is related defined)?
■ What is the process for becoming a regulated provider?
(What types of barriers may providers encounter in trying to become regulated? What policies does the state have to facilitate the process?) Does your state actively work to recruit FFN caregivers to regulated care?
■ What types of care are funded by the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG)?

In 2003, the Colorado Children’s Campaign commissioned a study1 to define and describe the relationship between early childhood care and education and the Colorado economy. Like other economic impact studies2, we find that early care and early childhood intervention plays a significant role in Colorado’s economy by generating additional state revenues and employment. We have also found that there exists a positive economic externality in subsidized child care. Child care subsidies enable lowincome parents to work on a full-time basis, which reduces their dependence upon welfare – this generates a net-savings for state and county welfare budgets. Because most of a child’s cognitive abilities are determined early in life (90 percent between the ages of birth and 3), “targeted intervention” offers an attractive social investment for the state. Several studies have found that by providing child care to at-risk children at an early stage in development, substantial savings arise from lower social deviance, lower special education costs, and higher tax-yields later in life. This makes subsidized child care, especially “early intervention” an attractive social investment from a
long-term growth viewpoint.

SCHIP—the State Children's Health Insurance Program—is one of the most successful programs ever created by the federal government. Created in 1997, it leverages federal and state dollars ($2 from the federal government for every $1 spent by the state) to fund health coverage for low-income children whose families make too much to qualify for Medicaid but who can't afford private insurance. Because of SCHIP, the number of uninsured children in this country fell by more than one-third between 1997 and 2005. 

Each state has the flexibility to create its own SCHIP structure, eligibility criteria and benefit package. Colorado's SCHIP plan, the Child Health Plan Plus ( CHP +)

--- Each state has the flexibility to create its own SCHIP structure, eligibility criteria and benefit package. Colorado's SCHIP plan, the Child Health Plan Plus ( CHP +), covers children between 100-200% of the federal poverty level, or up to about $40,000 annual income for a family of four. Low-income pregnant women can also enroll in the plan. Depending on income, some families pay an annual enrollment fee and co-pays. CHP + covers basic medical and dental services. 

--- How many children are covered by Colorado 's SCHIP plan, the Child Health Plan Plus ( CHP +)?
 CHP + enrollment varies monthly; as of January, 2007, nearly 50,000 children and more than 1,300 pregnant women were enrolled in the plan. Why is SCHIP an issue now? 2007 is the final year of SCHIP's original 10-year authorization. Congress must both reauthorize and fund the program adequately. However, President Bush's proposed budget freezes SCHIP funding at 2007 levels. That level of funding will not be sufficient to cover the anticipated growth in CHP + over the next five years. 

 --- What are the implications for Colorado and CHP +?
 We know that there are about twice as many Colorado kids who are eligible for CHP + as are enrolled. In order to enroll all those currently eligible children—let alone expand coverage to more uninsured low-income kids—we need to know that SCHIP funding will be stable. Congress has to do the right thing in order for Colorado to do things right.

In 1991, The Colorado Children’s Immunization Coalition formed in response to news that only 50 to 55 percent of children in our country were fully immunized, and to a goal established by the Centers for Disease Control that ninety-percent of two year olds would be fully immunized by 2000. 

In the fall of 1996, from across the state, The Colorado Trust convened twenty-four leaders and experts in immunizations and the medical care of children and charged them with developing a plan to improve and sustain childhood immunization rates in Colorado. In 1998, CCIC became the organization charged with implementing the recommendations found in, "A Comprehensive Plan to Improve Childhood Immunization Rates in Colorado." The recommendations of the taskforce focused on the role of providers, communities, technology, and public policy in improving immunization rates. In 1999, CCIC incorporated as a 501(c) 3 organization and The Colorado Trust provided a grant to plan and implement the taskforce recommendations. 

Since 1999 the coalition has focused on implementing the following four strategic initiatives in five sites in ten Colorado counties including: Otero, Crowley and Bent Counties, El Paso County, Montezuma and La Plata County, Weld County, and the Aurora portion of Arapahoe and Adams Counties: 
1. Launching community developed and locally managed programs that result in significant improvements in childhood immunization rates in targeted "pocket of need areas" in Colorado 
2. Helping physicians link their practices to the statewide immunization database through a collaborative effort with the Colorado Immunization Information System, the state's immunization registry 
3. Raising the knowledge base of physicians and their staff through continuing education 
4. Implementing successful public awareness programs for parents, about the safety, effectiveness, and importance of childhood immunizations 

The coalition has enjoyed many accomplishments over the years. In January of 2000, CCIC received the Dr. Maurice Hillman Award from Merck Vaccine Division recognizing innovation and achievement in the area of vaccine promotion and education. Also, in the fall of 2002, the "Hepatitis Prevention – Always Best for Your Child" campaign received the Silver Leaf Award for Community Awareness campaigns in 2002 by the Colorado Health Care Communicators.

The series has three distinct programs that work together to achieve outstanding outcomes: 
* Skill Building for Children: "Dinosaur School" is presented with puppetry (including two life-sized child puppets, a wide-eyed Dinosaur and timid turtle) in a 15-20 minute large group circle time with the entire classroom 2-3 times a week. It is followed by a 15-20 minute small group activity. "Dinosaur School" provides children with special attention and tools that help build skills in anger management, problem solving, emotional competence, empathy and developing friendships. 
* Skill Building for Parents: Groups are offered weekly for 12-14 weeks. The goals of the group are to offer parents support and additional information in strengthening parenting skills that promote the parent - child relationship, build social competence, reduce behavior problems and promote school readiness. Modalities of learning include the collaborative process, group discussion, video vignettes, role-play and home activities. 
* Skill Building for Teachers: Video-based training, modeling and guided practice provide teachers with proven classroom management strategies, including the effective use of teacher attention, praise and encouragement that promote academic success in the classroom.

Our mission is to weave family-centered, culturally competent and community based mental health supports and services into a seamless early childhood system of care that promotes health social-emotional development, identifies risk factors, intervenes early, and provides high quality services. 

Project Focus 
Project Bloom focuses primarily on young children from birth to five years old with serious emotional disturbances (SED) in El Paso, Fremont, and Mesa counties and the city of Aurora. The project will provide enhanced training, integrated delivery of supports and services, statewide working groups focusing on system improvements, and ultimately, sustainable statewide resources for addressing children’s mental health. Although the population of children who will receive services under Project Bloom are those who have SED, the project will have a broader impact by ensuring that there is a true system of care for all children to address prevention and treatment needs. Project Bloom will build on the seeds for improving mental health in the four communities, including working with each county’s Consolidated Child Care Pilot program to further improve the quality of early childhood care and education (ECE). Project BLOOM will work with diverse partners, including early childhood leaders and educators, mental health centers, departments of human services, employment and training programs and others."/>

To develop, implement and evaluate sustainable and replicable models of health care to
encourage and enable private practices to provide high quality, cost effective health care
for children of low income families throughout Colorado.
The Primary Objectives include: (1) develop an integrated delivery system comprised of
financially sustainable, high quality, private practice pediatric medical homes for publicly
insured children; (2) develop new linkages between private primary care practices and
community-based supports that enable practices to better serve these children; (3) pilot,
evaluate, and refine the community-based support elements for families and practices; (4)
replicate community-linked medical homes in pediatric and family practices statewide;
and (5) coordinate replication efforts with public and non-profit clinics, matching
capacity to need.

BETTER REIMBURSEMENT, FEWER HASSLES AND A SOCIAL WORKER FOR YOUR PRACITCE: these are 3 of the 10 support services that the Colorado Children’s Healthcare Access Program (CCHAP) provided for the 7 pediatric practices in metro Denver that participated in a pilot project over the past year. The results of the pilot phase are in. When a previously unassigned Medicaid or CHP+ child joins a private pediatric practice, their ED utilization is cut in half, their hospitalization is reduced to 2/3, their immunization rates go up and their total cost of care goes down. This data is being used to convince the State that reimbursement for pediatric care in a medical home should go up."/>

The Pilots are charged with the creation of a "seamless delivery system of early care and education services" that: 
* Ensures collaboration among public and private stakeholders; 
* Responds to the needs of working parents; 
* Enhances child care quality; and 
* Consolidates funding sources to create an early childhood system. 

The Pilots have become a vital component in the process of developing an Early Childhood system for the State of Colorado. In addition, to early care and education their focus includes: school readiness, health care, mental health, and family support. Much has been learned from the Pilots and they are now called Early Childhood Councils.

Since its inception in 1965, more than 20 million children and families nationally have benefited from Head Start's comprehensive services. The primary target population for Project Head Start/Early Head Start is children between the ages of 0-5 and pregnant women from families living below the federal poverty line. Head Start/Early Head Start programs are funded by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services directly to local community agencies.

The Head Start/Early Head Start program is based on the premise that all children share certain needs, and that children from low-income families, in particular, can benefit from a comprehensive developmental program to meet those needs. Head Start/Early Head Start is a family-oriented, comprehensive, and community-based program to address developmental goals for children, support for parents in their work and child-rearing roles, and linkage with other service delivery systems.


The Colorado Head Start Association (CSHA) supports the work of Head Start programs and their partners with information sharing and advocacy, within the context of the early childhood system in Colorado."/>

Identify high quality, research-based programs.
Identification consists of:

 * Reviewing programs from across the country
 * Assessing their effectiveness using Invest in Kids’ program criteria

Facilitate implementation of programs in communities throughout Colorado.
Facilitation consists of:

 * Convening meetings with local leaders to discuss community needs and how Invest in Kids' programs can help to meet them
 * Building broad-based community support with a diverse group of local stakeholders
 * Assisting to bring the program to the community once a community has selected it
 * Providing technical assistance to support successful program implementation 

Promote sustainability of programs.
Promotion of sustainability consists of:

 * Providing ongoing training and support to local staff
 * Garnering and maintaining the necessary political support required for long-term sustainability
 * Securing and protecting financial resources to support programs
 * Acting as an information resource about the programs"/>

From the moment that they are born, children are learning about themselves and the world around them. And, children learn best when they have a wealth of experiences and encouragement. 
In young children’s earliest weeks and months, their families provide this encouragement and key opportunities for learning. 
 
As children grow, new people enter their lives. Early care and education programs become increasingly important, and work together with families to support children’s learning and development. 
Together, families and early childhood programs help children gain new knowledge and skills, develop positive social relationships, and participate successfully in everyday activities and routines. 

Colorado’s early childhood programs have made an unwavering commitment to support children’s learning and the positive results that follow. Because, when our children are concerned... Results Matter."/>
