CU Children’s Center Gift Fund
Early childhood education is key in helping children cultivate the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities necessary to thrive in this ever-changing world. Studies show children who experience high-quality early education programs are more likely to succeed in elementary school; less likely to be held back and more likely to graduate from high school than children without access to these programs.
The advantages of high-quality early education programs aren’t limited to children. Access to reliable, high-quality childcare is a game-changer for parents pursuing degrees. It empowers them to focus on their studies, ultimately leading to a brighter economic future. It is estimated that for every dollar spent on high-quality childcare programs, there is an annual return on investment of seven to twelve dollars.
With the help of donors like you, the CU Children’s Center can provide CU students who are parents with access to quality early childhood education and support for their educational journeys. Your support could truly be life-changing.
