Founded in 1991 by a team of volunteers, the Colorado Parent & Child Foundation is dedicated to the vision that parents are their child's first and most influential teachers who prepare their children for success in school and life.

The Colorado Parent & Child Foundation promotes and supports high quality early childhood education programs and family initiatives to:

  • INSPIRE parent involvement
  • FACILITATE school readiness
  • PROVIDE parents with up-to-date information on child development and school readiness
  • CONNECT parents to critical services within their community

This is accomplished through our work with two evidence-based international early childhood home visitation models: Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) and Parents as Teachers (PAT)
