CCIG's Relationship with ECEA


CCIG is a founding member and supporter of the ECEA.

And, at no additional cost to you, CCIG financially supports the ECEA and its mission of education and advocacy for members.

The Early Childhood Education Association (ECEA) provides statewide advocacy and value-added services to its members and exclusively endorses CCIG for insurance. CCIG has maintained a strong presence within the ECEA, holding a seat on the board of directors since the beginning. Maria Aucoin has served as the current CCIG board representative since 2021. CCIG’s role on the board is to advise the ECEA and its membership regarding insurance and the ever-changing insurance industry as relates to commercial child care and early education insurance.

Since our founding in 1985, CCIG has had a dedicated team focused on serving commercial child care and early education programs. We partner with top specialty insurance carriers and have built strong relationships with underwriters, enabling us to deliver customized insurance solutions for our clients. While we primarily serve programs in Colorado and surrounding states, our reach extends nationwide, supporting everything from small independent centers to multi-location childcare providers and national franchises.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US


"I got introduced to ECEA years ago when they connected with CCIG to provide insurance for childcare centers. Through this connection, I have really developed my skills as a provider, and I have been successful in helping promote positive change in the childcare industry. I really enjoy knowing that there are like-minded people in ECEA helping preserve the private sector of childcare. Thank you for the assistance in growing my business and myself as a leader in so many positive ways."
