Universal Preschool

Universal Preschool is a 9 month tuition credit that is credited to your provider for every child the year before Kindergarten.  Tuition is credited for 10-30 hours based on provider selection and qualifying factors. Provider participation varies by location.  School districts, childcare centers, charter schools, private schools, and home childcare providers can all participate in Universal Preschool. This is a tax funded program from the State of Colorado. All families of children ages 3 to 5 are encouraged to apply.

For more information, to browse providers, or apply for the program visit upk.colorado.gov
