Adapt to Impact provides ongoing professional development, resources, and access to a loan library of adaptive equipment, toys, and materials at no cost to licensed Colorado family childcare homes, centers, and preschools. We help programs offer learning environments and activities that support children with delays and disabilities. Started in the fall of 2024, this new project builds on the success of two previously funded impactful projects, Project Include and Colorado Early Learning. We encourage providers serving children 0-5 who participated in these projects as well as programs who have not yet received support.
Our team includes professionals who have worked as teachers, speech language pathologists, and occupational therapists in early intervention, preschool and early childhood settings. We’re here to help your program succeed!
Adapt to Impact offers online trainings, access to a loan library of adaptive equipment for childcare programs to borrow, and specialized support and resources for licensed CO childcare programs. Learn more about each of these project resources below!

Adaptive toys, materials, and equipment are available for checkout by licensed childcare programs in the state of Colorado who have completed the Adapt to Impact Intake Form and at least one of our trainings.
