Child Care Resources

Looking for Child Care or Preschool?

Finding the right child care or preschool is an important decision. It should be a positive experience for your family and meet both your child’s learning needs and your family’s schedule.

The Early Childhood Council of Boulder County (ECCBC) is the local Child Care Resource and Referral office. They can connect families with child care programs that have open spots. Visit the ECCBC website for more information.

The Colorado Shines Child Care Referral service at Mile High United Way provides a free, customized list of licensed child care providers anywhere in Colorado.

The City of Boulder Child Care Subsidy program helps Boulder residents who do not qualify for CCAP but still need help paying for care. Contact the program by calling 303-503-6012 or emailing PelegrinaW@bouldercolorado.gov.
