What People Are Saying

“EPIC is changing Colorado’s future for the better and driving the economy forward by tackling the challenges of affordable, high-quality childcare to support our state’s workforce. Together, we can help companies support a stronger workforce today, while increasing access to quality childcare and early education that will set Colorado’s workforce of tomorrow ahead of the pack.”

“EPIC has been a strong voice in bringing awareness to the obstacles women in the workforce face, and their innovative work helps our state implement responsible solutions that address childcare challenges faced by Colorado families and employers.  We are thankful for their leadership and are proud to call them a partner.”

“Quality early care and education is rare and expensive. EPIC – a coalition of smart, compassionate business leaders – is working to change that. Helping my employees address the wellbeing of their children has had a positive impact on increasing productivity and lowering turnover. Putting early care and education at the top of our national priorities is not just a moral imperative, it is also a financial one.”

“EPIC is vital to the business community, today and into multiple future generations. There is nothing more important than giving each child born in Colorado a chance to thrive and become a future business leader within the Colorado community.”

“EPIC is making a significant impact to break the chain of generational poverty through early childhood intervention. Their advocacy and workplace initiatives are making a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of so many children.”

“I am a very proud founding member of EPIC. Mile High United Way knows there is no more important issue to the business community than early childcare and education because it drives the Colorado economy.”

“As longtime champions of accessible, quality early childhood education and care, PNC Bank and EPIC both understand how critical this work is not only to young people, but to the future of our community and economy.”

“EPIC is a unique advocacy organization that bridges the divide between the business sector and very young children. They mobilize business leaders and equip their members with resources and techniques to better support working parents.”

“EPIC has been an invaluable partner to us in conducting our large-scale childcare exploration at DEN. They have facilitated a complex process across myriad stakeholders, been responsive to our needs and made adjustments, and built credibility and garnered confidence from our entire leadership team. We could not have asked for a better partner.”
