Community leaders to examine issues facing kids in Boulder County Oct. 10 discussion to explore child health and education issues. Community leaders will examine health and education issues facing local children in a community discussion Oct. 10 in Longmont. To start the conversation, the Colorado Children’s Campaign, Colorado’s leading voice for kids, will present statewide and county-specific data on child well-being from its 2013 KIDS COUNT in Colorado! report. The annual KIDS COUNT report provides statewide and county-by-county data on a range of factors impacting child health, education and overall well-being. The goal of this year’s KIDS COUNT report is to provide a clearer picture of how kids across Colorado—and locally—are faring and to provide local leaders and those interested in improving the lives of kids with the county-specific data and analysis they need to better serve children. Following the presentation, Chris Watney, President and CEO of the Colorado Children’s Campaign, will speak about the importance of using high-quality data to enrich local, state and national discussion to secure better futures for all children. Steve Callander, Executive Director of the Boulder Day Nursery Association and Early Childhood Council of Boulder County board member, will talk about how to choose a quality child care provider and why it matters. The free event is co-hosted by the Colorado Children’s Campaign, the Early Childhood Council of Boulder County and the Bright Eyes Coalition, City of Longmont. Light refreshments will be served. WHAT: Colorado Children’s Campaign Presentation and Discussion WHERE: Longmont City Council Chambers, Longmont Civic Center Complex, 350 Kimbark, Longmont WHEN: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. RSVP: Public welcome with RSVP to Liz Houston at [email protected] by Oct. 7.
