Benefits of Sponsorship

By sponsoring staff for the TEACH Early Childhood® Colorado Scholarship, you’re investing in a stronger, more qualified workforce. TEACH covers 90% of tuition and books, reimburses paid release time, and provides financial bonuses. Employers pay just 5% of tuition and contribute two hours of paid release time weekly, helping staff balance work and education. In return, your program benefits from improved retention, higher staff confidence, and greater quality of care, ensuring a thriving team and brighter outcomes for children.
