Infant, toddlers & families (part c)

The Colorado Department Of Early Childhood, a U.S. state government entity, has received a $10,164,475.32 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services to administer the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families (CFDA 84.181) program. This grant will fund the implementation and maintenance of Colorado's comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary early intervention system to provide services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The grant period is from Jul 1, 2023 to Sep 30, 2024. As the lead agency, the Colorado Department Of Early Childhood will use this funding to subsidize child care costs, deliver developmental services and therapies, improve the quality of early childhood programs, and expand access to preschool statewide. The Department also issues sub-grants to state agencies and organizations to support activities like developing Universal Preschool rate structures, delivering evidence-based programming, and conducting provider outreach.
