The global filters below are optional; however, the charts included in this dashboard were formatted with the intention that global filters would be used (at a minimum) for County or ECC. Please keep in mind that these filters, once populated, will override any other filters on the charts below. Charts containing additional filters will be noted on the dashboard.

There are multiple license types available to child care providers in Colorado. The provider types included in the Colorado Licensed Child Care Facilities monthly dataset and this accompanying dashboard are: Child Care Centers, School-Age Child Care Centers, Preschool Programs, Family Child Care Homes, Large Family Child Care Homes, Experienced Family Child Care Homes, Three under 18 Months Family Child Care Homes, Infant/Toddler Homes, Resident Camps and Neighborhood Youth Organizations. Unless a global filter is populated for "Provider Service Type", all of the above mentioned service types will be populated for this chart when applicable. Excluded from the dataset are unlicensed providers. 

A Fiscal Agreement is a state-approved agreement between counties or their designees and child care provider(s) and must be in place in order for a child care provider to accept and be reimbursed for providing care to a child engaged with CCCAP. A Fiscal Agreement means a provider has the ability to be reimbursed through CCCAP but it is not an indication that the provider is currently providing care for children in CCCAP.

The chart to the left shows the number of providers who have an active fiscal agreement on file (True) and the number of providers who do not have an active fiscal agreement on file (False).

The total licensed capacity data for center-based and home-based providers are included in the two charts below. Both charts have been filtered to only display capacity data for the provider types listed in their subtitle. If the "Provider Service Type" global filter is populated at the top of this dashboard, the selections made in the global filter will override the default filters and the charts will be reflective of the global filter selection(s) ONLY. For example, if "Preschool Program" is selected in the "Provider Service Type" global filter, only Preschool Programs' capacity data will be populated in both the Center and Home Capacity charts below.

Due to the filter interactions explained above, it is recommended that the capacity charts be interpreted without global filters populated for "Provider Service Type" at the top of this dashboard. Should a need arise for data relating to a specific provider type, the filters on each chart can be populated instead. These filters can be accessed in the top right tab of each chart.   

The following charts illustrate licensed capacity by specific age groups. Given the nature of home-based care and their ability to serve a variety of age combinations at any given time, the following charts are restricted to center-based care only.

Due to the filter interactions explained in the section above, it is recommended that these charts also be interpreted without global filters populated for "Provider Service Type" at the top of this dashboard. Should a need arise for data relating to a specific provider type, the filters on each chart can be populated instead. Please note that home-based providers are not required to report capacity for specific age groups, thus home-based providers should not be selected for the age-specific capacity charts at this time.
