Child Advocacy
You can be a voice for children!
Federal, state, and local policymakers are making decisions every day that affect children. You can be a part of that process by learning about the issues and voicing your opinion. Join the Children’s Defense Fund’s efforts on the national level by clicking on www.childrensdefense.org.
The Children’s Defense Fund champions policies and programs to improve the odds for America’s children. They seek to end child poverty, give every child a healthy start, a quality early childhood experience, a level education playing field, and safe families and communities free from violence—with special attention to children involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Their policy and advocacy work includes raising awareness, gathering and analyzing data, publishing reports and research, highlighting promising practices, seeking legislative and administrative improvements and, perhaps most importantly, implementing policies so they truly benefit the most vulnerable children. Through this work, they seek to advance and achieve their mission to Leave No Child Behind®.
For state issues, the Colorado Children’s Campaign will keep you informed at www.coloradokids.org.
The Colorado Children’s Campaign is dedicated to ensuring every chance for every child. They have developed partnerships with advocates from a range of perspectives including legislators and decision makers, grassroots community activists, donors, and others committed to making Colorado a great place to be a kid.
As an organization with more than three decades of experience advocating for the well-being of children, they understand that effective advocacy requires both information and action.

Helping children’s social and emotional development.
Children who attend high quality child care or preschool are better at learning, including language and math. They also get experience in listening, following directions, participating in a group, expressing feelings in an appropriate way, and staying on track with activities. When children learn these things before they enter school, they are more likely to be successful in school.
All child care arrangements, including licensed centers and homes, family members, friends and neighbors, have the potential to provide high quality services that can stimulate and nurture children and be responsive to their needs.
