This report considers policies and programs that encompass and acknowledge the full spectrum of the child care ecosystem, which includes licensed care both in centers and family homes as well as license-exempt and family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) care. Each of these care settings has a unique set of barriers and opportunities that are worthy of consideration in a holistic plan to build a robust, adequate, and quality child care system. This report proposes an approach in which the State of Colorado and local communities become more “child-friendly” by considering the child care system as critical infrastructure for working families and creating a regulatory environment that proactively and ambitiously supports its development.
