Starting with hearing from some of our sponsors including @AlecGarnett and @EmilyForCO - she is talking about HB22-1295 “this particular stakeholder process has been going on for years, and concludes decades of process”
We would like to review priority bills affecting early childhood development & health with you all in this thread as it pertains to the 11th Annual #SpeakUpForKids
The first priority bill we heard about was HB22-1295: Department Early Childhood And Universal Preschool Program. Melissa Mares from @ColoradoKidsOrg shared a presentation on why this is needed. Feel free to also go to betterbeginningsco.com
The new EC depart will make the #EarlyChildhood system easier for families, advocates and providers in the state. “This legislation will have a positive ripple effect’” says @GovofCO
