The design, implementation and sustainable funding of a comprehensive countywide system of early childhood programs and services is a priority for the early childhood sector in Boulder County.   The cities of Longmont and Boulder are the two largest municipalities in the county and  both have adopted early care and education goals.

Currently, early childhood programs and services exist across Boulder County in various agencies and organizations.  These are vital components to the comprehensive system and many agencies and organizations make significant contributions to local planning and the development of a comprehensive system. 

The Early Childhood Council of Boulder County is the recognized pollicy and planning development organization for early childhood in Boulder County and is currently undertaking the development of the ECCBC Comprehensive System Plan.
