Colorado Child Care Narrative Survey
Only 8% of Coloradans rank child care among the state’s top three issues, and 73% haven’t seen any recent messaging about it — leaving just 45% feeling personally impacted by the issues this system is facing.
But there’s a clear opportunity: Mentioning anything about the importance of child care or the issues facing the system raises that sense of personal impact from 45% to 67%.
These findings come from the 2026 Colorado child care narrative survey by Corona Insights. The survey also highlights how to better engage 9 key audiences often left out of child care conversations.
