We identify the right programs:
- Meet with local leaders throughout the state to understand needs
- Focus on programs predominantly serving low-income children (ages 0-8) and their families
- Identify programs that have been rigorously researched, demonstrate cost savings, and have a well-defined model for replication
We introduce these proven programs into Colorado communities:
- Engage diverse stakeholders
- Build (or work with existing) coalitions for support and oversight
We implement the programs through collaboration with agency partners and community leaders:
- Secure funding at the local, state and federal levels through public and private sources
- Provide training, technical assistance and ongoing professional development
We ensure each program’s ongoing success and sustainability:
- Strict adherence to guidelines of delivery and quality improvement
- Measurement of outcomes
- Ongoing evaluation for fidelity, accountability and sustainability
