UsRaising Colorado Kids

Raising CO Kids is a Colorado-focused information and resource platform for parents and caregivers seeking help to raise healthy, thriving children. It brings together guidance on child development, early learning, child care, family support, and education, with information organized to help families find relevant services and make informed decisions.

The platform features the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines, which outline learning and developmental milestones from birth through age eight. Topics include physical health, language and literacy, cognitive growth, social-emotional development, and approaches to learning. Families can browse or download the guidelines, including a Spanish version.

Raising CO Kids also offers an Early Childhood Services Finder, where families can anonymously enter household information to identify more than 20 services they may qualify for and learn how to access them. Resources cover finding and evaluating child care, checking licensing and safety information, Universal Preschool Colorado, Head Start, support for children with disabilities, and assistance for families navigating transitions or housing insecurity.
