Guest: Shelby Mattingly CEO

Denver’s Early Childhood Council is dedicated to strengthening the childcare system, recognizing that childcare is not only essential for children’s healthy development but also a cornerstone of a thriving workforce. They ensure families have access to quality childcare, collaborate with partners to provide health and mental health support, and focus on early development. Their efforts include supporting existing childcare programs, training early childhood professionals, building referral networks, and connecting children to developmental resources. By nurturing a robust childcare system, they help lay the foundation for both the well-being of children and the sustainability of the workforce.
