To qualify, families must live in Denver and enroll in a participating early childhood education provider, including Denver Public Schools classrooms, community-based providers, and family child care homes.

Our Impact in Numbers
Our ImpactWhy Preschool?
For Kids, Families, and Community
After nearly two decades of research, we know that children who attend a quality early childhood education program are more prepared for kindergarten, which leads to:
- Stronger early language, literacy, and math skills
- Improved social and emotional development
- A higher likelihood of graduating high school, attending college, and succeeding in their careers
And benefits don’t end with children–they extend to their families and communities.
