Our Self-Sufficiency Standard was mentioned in The Denver Post article, quoting Charles Brennan, "childcare costs were among the fastest-growing expenses... and likely continues to be a major driver of cost increases." www.denverpost.com/2026/08/30/c...

Childcare aid is reaching some northern Colorado families, but many are still struggling
Childcare affordability challenges are compounded by a freeze on Colorado’s main childcare subsidy program, making things far worse for families and providers.
