STARTING TO THINK ABOUT PRESCHOOL

GET STARTED WITH DPP BELOW

Choosing a school for your little one is a big decision. Your choices will set the stage for a lifetime of learning, and we can help! To ensure every Denver child can experience the power of preschool, Denver Preschool Program offers tuition credits to every Denver family with a 4-year-old, as well as to a limited number of Denver families with a 3-year-old. But that’s not all! We also empower early childhood educators with professional development and coaching, college scholarships and quality improvement resources, and engage in extensive community outreach and advocacy at the city, state, and national level to re-imagine the early childhood education ecosystem as a whole.
