Arapahoe Libraries is proud to highlight a variety of community organizations that offer services for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers.
Allhealth Network:, opens a new window AllHealth Network is a nonprofit mental health organization providing counseling, psychiatry, crisis services, substance use treatment and more. They accept Medicaid and commercial insurance plans.
Early Intervention, opens a new window: If you or someone else has a concern about the way a baby or toddler is growing or developing, Early Intervention (EI) Colorado can help. An EI Colorado evaluation will determine if a child could use some extra support or if they are right on track.
Developmental Pathways:, opens a new window Must be an Arapahoe County Resident. Developmental Pathways provides support and services, coordinates care and expands their offerings by partnering with community organizations. Serving all ages, from birth to aging, their goal is to ensure that all individuals with disabilities in Arapahoe County receive support.
Lantern:, opens a new window Because kids don’t come with instructions, Lantern provides essential information tailored for nurturing children from pregnancy through preteen.
Nurturing Connections Colorado:, opens a new window Parents and other caregivers play an important role in building children's social-emotional skills such as making friends, caring for others, managing emotions and resolving conflict peacefully. Helping children to develop these skills promotes their healthy development and reduces behaviors adults find challenging. If you care for young children, we can help.
The Early Childhood Mental Health Support Line (833) 326-4411is a no-cost, confidential resource for anyone who cares for children under six. The support line can help you to better understand and support the well-being of the young children in your care, including children who may currently be struggling.
ParentTV: ParentTV offers hundreds of short videos and courses for parents, caregivers and educators.
Read, Learn, Lead, opens a new window: Reading is one of the most important skills a child can learn, but not all kids develop reading skills at the same pace. The good news? You don’t have to be a teacher to help. Small, simple actions—talking, singing, playing—help build the foundation for reading success. And when reading challenges come up, acting early makes a big difference.
Safecare Colorado:, opens a new window SafeCare® Colorado providers work side-by-side with families once a week in their home or through virtual visits. The goal of SafeCare® Colorado is to help parents and caregivers build on the skills they already have and make sure they have what they need to keep children safe, healthy and thriving.
