The CO Dept. of Early Childhood's CIRCLE grants sent ripples of impact across the state's early childhood system. Program administrator Early Milestones Colorado just released our follow-up report on how it continues to strengthen care & education 2 years later.

Read the brief: tinyurl.com/4vrve3dr
CIRCLE Projects Demonstrated Ripple Effects at Multiple Levels. 85% reported individual-level changes such as reduced staff stress, new credentials, or stronger parent confidence. 75% saw changes in their organizations such as shifting mindsets, operations, or staff roles. 66% observed community-level outcomes, from collaborative programs to expanded service footprints. 50% saw system-level shifts, including new public investments, leadership pipelines, and state-level replication of successful models.
