Early Learning Ventures Cost Savings to Early Childcare and Education Providers

Prepared for Early Learning Ventures in 2017

Early Learning Ventures (ELV) is a Colorado-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide tools and resources in a shared services model to early childhood education (ECE) providers. This allows providers across the state to focus on quality, save time, lower costs, and produce better outcomes for children. APA Consulting was hired by ELV to independently research the benefits and savings ELV services present to childcare providers and stakeholders in the ECE system. Overall, APA’s study, conducted with a diverse group of stakeholders and ECE providers, offers both quantitative and qualitative evidence that ELV’s service model provides substantial cost and time savings for childcare providers.
