RESOLUTION NO. 2016 - Q( 0
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS IN
THE ROARING FORK VALLEY
WHEREAS, children have a right to receive education, and early childhood
development must be considered a part of this right; and
WHEREAS, early childhood development programs are of great value to all children
and should be available to all; and
WHEREAS, early childhood development is an economic factor for a healthy
community, both for the present workforce and for the educational success of our future
workforce; and
WHEREAS, partners in the Roaring Fork Valley are working to increase capacity in
quality childcare in the 80-mile corridor between Aspen and Parachute by bringing together non-
profit, public and private sectors to achieve early childhood education and kindergarten
readiness, availability and equity; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners recognizes that without these
important collaborations, children throughout the country and in our own communities risk
falling behind their peers in school and in life.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners
wishes to support early childhood education by recognizing and supporting collective efforts,
including the Aspen to Parachute Cradle to Career Initiative, and encourages other parties to
become engaged in these important efforts.
