The Arapahoe County Early Childhood Council is excited to announce that we’ve developed an innovative, new search tool making it easier for families to find you.
This new tool will allow you to share your openings, pricing, program highlights and staff information with families searching for care. Your availability information will also be shared with Colorado Shines so that the call center can accurately refer families to locations that have available openings. We understand that your availability fluctuates. Whether you’re at capacity or have several openings, this information will be shown to families so that they know whether or not to contact you.
All of the information shown about providers is gathered from providers in the Provider Portal. From there, families can enroll with their favorite provider through coordinated enrollment to reduce the burden on parents; they only need to submit one application to enroll their child.
Some benefits of the ACECC Child Care Connect platform are:
Parents can engage with providers directly in the portal by sending messages and booking live tours.
Collect real-time availability data while increasing enrollment for providers.
Match families with child care providers using the data collected from providers.
Make data-driven decisions to support families and providers in your community.
