The federal government is currently in a shutdown. At this time, there are no immediate impacts to federally funded child and family programs operated by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood. Families should continue to access care and services as usual.

We are monitoring the situation closely with federal partners and will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.
