A Centralized Digital Experience Built For You

Built directly in response to your feedback, CDECPro.com brings Colorado’s early childhood resources together into a single, easy-to-navigate space designed to reduce administrative burden and save you time.

  • Professional Development & Quality Programs: Easily access, track, and interact with the high-value tools you use most, right at launch.
  • A Unified Launchpad: One central home base for all official CDEC resources, provider portals, and daily administrative tasks.
  • A Phased Rollout: The platform will steadily evolve, eventually pulling together everything from Licensing and Early Learning Guidelines to Universal Preschool.
  • A Connected Ecosystem: Purpose-built to seamlessly complement CDEC.colorado.gov (for policy and regulation) and RaisingColoradoKids.com (for families).

CDECPro.com is scheduled to launch in 2026. Because we are building this platform based directly on provider feedback, we are taking a thoughtful, phased approach to rolling out new features. This ensures a smooth transition with zero disruption to your daily operations. We will share specific timeline updates as we get closer to launch!
ColoradoShines.com will continue operating throughout the transition. The Provider Search and other tools you rely on today will remain available and fully functional. CDECPro.com is designed to complement and eventually bring together these resources in one place — no sudden changes, no disruption to your workflow.
Yes. PDIS remains fully accessible and is not changing at launch. CDECPro.com will provide a seamless link into PDIS from a central dashboard, making it easier to find and use — but the underlying system and your existing credentials stay the same.
Details about account access for CDECPro.com will be shared ahead of launch. Our goal is to minimize any extra steps for existing providers. We will communicate the sign-in process clearly and in advance so you have plenty of time to prepare.
No action is needed right now. Continue using ColoradoShines.com, PDIS, and all other CDEC tools as you normally would. When the time comes, we will send clear step-by-step guidance so the transition is smooth. If you have questions in the meantime, reach out to us at CDEC_Pro@state.co.us.
