Colo. Rev. Stat. § 26.5-5-103
Counties are urged to partner with for-profit or not-for-profit organizations that evaluate the quality of early childhood care and education programs in the early childhood councils and assign ratings in an effort to assess the success of such programs and to improve the ultimate delivery of early childhood care and education. Counties so partnering are further encouraged to match private investments in such early childhood care and education programs with county block grant money for Colorado works pursuant to part 7 of article 2 of title 26 and federal child care development funds in an effort to improve the overall quality of those programs. Counties so partnering are further encouraged to expend local funds to promote the objectives of this part 1 and improve the delivery of early childhood services, including the continuation of those funding sources developed to support pilot site agency activities.
