Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Summit County Child Care Marketplace?

The Summit County Child Care Marketplace is a platform where you can search for all programs in Summit County, see available spots, join programs, waitlists, and schedule tours. You’ll also be able to manage your family information and update it to ensure you get a seat offer that meets your needs, and track your waitlist status at any time.

How will I know if seats are available at programs?

You’ll be able to filter the marketplace by available spots at quality programs. Each spot listed is available, and you can apply for it. Once you apply for that spot, it will no longer show to other families searching in the area.

How do you know these spots are open?

We help child care programs manage their enrollment through a platform called LegUp. This system supports you from waitlists or applications, to registration.

How many waitlists can I join?

You can join as many waitlists at programs in your area as you’d like. Once you receive a spot, you’ll be asked if you want to remove yourself from other program’s waitlists.

How do I schedule a tour?

Once you find a program you’re interested in touring, click “Learn More” and you’ll be taken to their profile page where you can then schedule an in-person or virtual tour, if the program allows.

Will my personal data be shared by ECO?

No, Early Childhood Options does not collect detailed data. We do collect aggregate data in the area to understand how to support the community in getting access to care, when and where they need it.

What does it mean for a program to be a “quality program?”

A quality child care program will be licensed by the State of Colorado and is required to adhere to specific regulations and quality standards. We only have quality, licensed child care providers on this platform.
