Early Childhood Network

At the Early Childhood Network, our mission is to promote the availability of quality, affordable early childhood education and to provide access to childcare information and resources for the communities of Garfield and Western Eagle counties. We believe that quality early childhood education is essential for the healthy development of children, and that every child deserves access to high-quality care.

Our Services

We offer a range of services to support families in finding the best possible childcare for their children. Our team of experts will work with you to assess your priorities and goals, and provide you with a list of licensed child care providers that fit your needs. We will also provide you with the tools you need to successfully interview each licensed provider and determine if a provider has created a healthy, safe, and developmentally stimulating environment. Our services are free and confidential.

Quality Child Care

We believe that quality early childhood education is critical for a child's development. Quality child care is about more than just providing a safe and healthy environment. It's about creating an environment that is stimulating and engaging, and that fosters social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our team of experts will work with you to find a child care provider that meets your needs and provides high-quality care.
