Preschool for Three Year Olds
- Students who are three years old, on or before October 1, 2024 should register using the link above. Limited funds are available to support three-year olds with a qualifying factor based on UPK’s qualifying factor framework. Families who believe they would qualify for additional funds should select “tuition-based – three or four years old by Oct. 1” in the Preschool Program section of the district preschool application, then check the “scholarship” option box.
- Families who do not receive scholarships are welcome to enroll in preschool as a tuition paying family.

- We are anticipating full day options for the 2024-2025 school year at some locations. Families can apply, understanding additional tuition fees may apply.

Whom do I contact if I have concerns about my child’s development?
Call Jodie Guerrieri at Child Find (303-772-6649) to schedule a screening.
At what age are children eligible to receive services in Special Education?
The District is required to provide special education to eligible children when a child reaches their 3rd birthday.
If a child qualifies for Special Education and a preschool program is recommended, is the child guaranteed a placement in the school of attendance/residency?
No, the district must provide a free appropriate public education that meets the individualized needs of the child and sometimes this means attending an appropriate preschool outside of the attendance area. The district has a limited number of preschool programs therefore, the attendance/residency area program may be full when the child is identified for special education. In this case, another program would be recommended.
