DENVER — More languages are now available for Colorado 's Universal Preschool Program online registration system in order to reach more families and expand access to early child care.
“Early care and education is a cornerstone of child development, and language should not be a barrier to access in Colorado,” said CDEC’s executive director Dr. Lisa Roy. “Adding these languages to the registration process brings us one step closer to a more universal program for children and families across Colorado.”
What is the Universal Preschool Program? The Colorado Universal Preschool Program offers all families in Colorado the opportunity to get up to 15 hours of early childhood education and care for free.Families who qualify will have the opportunity for more free hours. The program works with school districts to provide care to families. In Southern Colorado, there are a total of 20 districts participating so far in the program based on the registration portal.
The funding for these programs was again approved in November of 2023 with the passage of Proposition II. Proposition II was born after the state had expected Proposition EE would bring in $186.5 million in revenue. It ended up generating $208 million, around $24 million more than expected.
