One of ECCBC’s main goals is helping child care and preschool programs feel successful in their quest to provide high-quality care and education services in Boulder County.
Quality of care is dependent on many aspects of a child care setting, including:
- Provider/teacher skills and characteristics
- Environment
- Staffing ratios
- Specialized training
- Safety
- Relationships between staff, children and parents
- Availability of services
ECCBC supports quality incentive programs designed to help child care centers, preschools, and family child care providers understand the factors that the state uses to determine quality and strengthen those elements within their settings.
