Time saving tip!

The philosophy of the Early Education Department is to create an integrated and comprehensive system of diverse, high-quality early childhood education and care services. This system of services will enhance the development of young children so they succeed throughout their academic career; support families in their role as nurturers and first teachers; and meet the needs and financial abilities of Denver's working parents. The Early Childhood Education Program goals include: providing a broad range of developmentally appropriate experiences for preschool children that support the development of their social-emotional; physical, cognitive, language, and emergent literacy and mathematical skills which are the foundation for future school success; and actively involving parents in the education of their children both at home and at school.
