2024-25 UPK - Colorado Universal Preschool Update
Dear Universal Preschool Families,
Thank you for your interest in Colorado Universal Preschool! Please see the bulleted updates and key dates below for the upcoming 2024-25 School Year enrollment process.
Enrollment Phase: General Application
All families can apply to Colorado Universal Preschool starting February 29. The general application will be open to all families, whether they qualify for the pre-registration enrollment, or are new to Colorado Universal Preschool. A few key timeline notes below:
- Families who have registered and submitted an application by April 20, 2024 will be eligible for this initial round of family-to provider matching.
- A second round of matching is scheduled for July 2024 for any families not registered by April 20, 2024 and for families who were not successfully matched during the initial matching round.
Enrollment Phase: Pre-Registration
Pre-Registration is a new, focused effort to provide continuity of care for families with children already enrolled, children with siblings already enrolled, and children of an employee at a participating universal preschool provider.
As a reminder, from February 29 to March 28, only those families that meet the continuity of care, employee, or sibling priority criteria outlined in the pre-registration enrollment guidelines will be matched to providers. Below is further detail about next steps and timelines related to the pre-registration process:
-
April 3: Notification to Families of Continuity of Care placement: Families who have registered and submitted an application and identified themselves as pursuing continuity of care, will receive a notification of their matches on April 3, 2024.
-
April 20: Deadline for Application Updates for 2nd Family-to-Provider Matching Round: If a family is not successfully matched during the initial pre-registration period, they may still be eligible for matching during the April matching round noted above, as long as they have additional providers selected and ranked in their registration.
Enrollment Phase: Individualized Educational Programs (IEP)
-
March 25: Matching for students with IEPs will occur on a rolling basis beginning the third week in March 2024. As part of this process, Students are matched to programs based on the placement made by their AU (Administrative Unit). Please reach out to your AU for placement updates.
