My husband and I are taking the "Incredible Years" parenting class from Early Childhood Partners; it has been life changing and permanently altered our home life in how we interact with our children and each other. We have learned so many important skills from this talented and supportive team that has answered our many questions and given us a new direction that can only improve the relationship we have with our children and positively influence their future. We are so thankful to have this parenting advice and leadership available to us! -j_hursey

I am a preschool teacher in Eagle County. The help I have received in my classroom and with many of my kids has been life changing, they have always treated me and my school with respect. Their knowledge and assistance in the early childhood department is extensive, I always feel like they can assist me with any problem or concern. -ecarillo

I am the director of the Vail Child Care Center. I have been working with Early Childhood Partners for several years. Their partnership has helped me tremendously in providing a high quality program not only for our children and their families, but also a quality, pride-filled environment for the staff. They have helped me in so many ways; such as, to prepare for the Qualistar Rating, to assist me in writing quality improvement grants, to enhance my staff training, to provide social/emotional support, to inform us about available grants, to provideus with materials for the classroom and/or for parents, to provide parenting trainings. They even attend and support our fundraising activities. My 'partner' in Early Childhood Partners has been there for me whenever a need arises. I truly could not do what I do without her support.

I have a wonderful daughter who was displaying some really challenging behaivor. I took the incredible years parenting class (2X), which was very helpful in developing skills for the entire family to use. Also, I was able to untilize the early childhood partners program to access an entire team of professionals. These individuals provided my family with several tools to use in helping my daughter to manage her emotional skills, therefore allowing her to move through all situations in life with ease. We are so thankful for this program and all it has done for our family!

My husband and I took a series of parenting classes with Early Childhood Partners. We found it to be relaxed, comfortable, and very informative. We learned a lot from the teachers, but also found it to be a great venue to discuss issues and brainstorm solutions with classmates. The teachers made a great team, and seemed to enjoy teaching the class. -Pavan K.

Early Childhood Partners, and in particular, the "Incredible Years" parenting class they put on is phenomenal. We are 6 weeks into the 14 week class and, already, they have fundamentally changed the way my wife and I look at parenting our sometimes-challenging 3 year old son. We always prided ourselves as being loving and nurturing parents but this class and the experienced instructors have provided us with greater tools and understanding which has allowed us to focus more on an ounce of prevention rather than a pound of cure (i.e. effective punishment…which was my original motivation for attending the class in the first place). By applying lessons learned in the class we've improved our relationship with our son and with each other. Not to mention, because of the class, we strongly feel as though we are better helping our son to have improved success as he continues to navigate life's challenges. Thank you Emily & Julia!

The Eagle Valley Child Care Association has worked with Early Childhood Partners for over 10 years. Annually, director staff meet with Early Childhood Partners to identify goals and mentoring needs at individual sites. Consultants work directly with our teachers and mentor them to find solutions to address environmental issues in the classroom and develop strategies for working with individual children who need more support in the classroom...
