Serving Families with Safe, Nurturing Early Childhood Education for Over a Century

Healthy development in a person’s early years, particularly birth to five, provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health and successful parenting of the next generation. Early Connections closes any barriers that may hinder a child’s success by providing high quality, comprehensive programs to support learning and development in all domains. Our team of highly-qualified staff works shoulder to shoulder with families providing every child with the support and high-quality foundation of early education they need to succeed.

By donating to Early Connections, you are making a life-long impact on a child’s life and ensuring their future.  There are so many ways to give – one-time, monthly or a planned gift.   Even better, your gift may be eligible for COLORADO CHILD CARE CONTRIBUTION TAX CREDIT (CCTC).  The CCTC is a 50% tax credit when you file Colorado taxes. For example, if you donate $1,000, you can get $500 back!
