Join us on March 12th at the Durango Public Library for a public presentation on the La Plata Early Childcare Strategic Investment Plan—a $20 million framework designed to expand access to childcare, support early childhood educators, and strengthen the local economy.
Developed in partnership with the Early Childhood Council of La Plata County, City of Durango, and Regional Housing Alliance, and informed by over 300 community members, this plan provides a data-driven approach to addressing La Plata County’s childcare shortage. Key components include:
- Market & Economic Analysis – Assessing current gaps and financial impact.
- Case Studies – Learning from successful models in other communities.
- Targeted Solutions – Expanding capacity, improving wages, and funding infrastructure.
- Implementation Plan – A roadmap for sustainable, long-term change.
