Early Learning Ventures is taking steps to strengthen Colorado’s early care and education industry. It is doing so by teaming with financially able nonprofits through “Alliance” partnerships.

The providers, who pay a membership fee to the larger nonprofit, include for-profit, nonprofit and faithbased child care centers as well as providers working from their own homes.
