Equity in Early Childhood Education
Centered in Equity
Denver Preschool Program believes that by prioritizing equity in early childhood education, we can ensure every child has the opportunity to benefit inside and outside of the classroom.

Our commitments to equity drive the creation of a more equitable early childhood landscape and a more just world.
