Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s Childcare for All Initiative is moving full steam ahead. Childcare for All is Denver’s renewed focus on strengthening childcare so more families can find and afford quality care. The City is partnering with families, childcare providers, employers, and community members to learn about barriers to childcare and identify ways to make improvements. 

Here are three ways you can get involved and share your perspective with Childcare for All: 

  • Take the Survey: Short and sweet, this three-minute survey is available in English and Spanish and gives you an easy way to share your perspective. 
  • Attend a Community Meeting: Located throughout the City, community meetings give you a chance to participate in person. Childcare will be available at all meetings.
