Dear Universal Preschool Providers,
Thank you again for your time and thoughtful feedback during our recent Provider Agreement Office Hours. Your input continues to shape and strengthen the Universal Preschool Program.
We’ve heard your concerns about the contract language related to provider fees. In response, we are removing the strict prohibition on all fees and replacing it with clearer, more flexible language that still protects families. Under the updated language, providers may charge fees for services not funded by the program, as long as those fees are posted up front. This change offers more clarity and operational flexibility, while keeping fairness and transparency for families front and center.
We’ve also added a new provision to ensure no family is ever placed on a waitlist, regardless of what services they are receiving.
These revisions will appear in the “Attendance and Reimbursement” section of the contract. For transparency, you can see the exact red line below.
You will find the revised version of the contracts for private providers and governmental providers:
If your program has already submitted the Google form indicating your intent to sign the contract, we will be reaching out to you to reconfirm your agreement, now that this change has been made.
You can expect updated provider agreements to be issued on or around May 1, 2025.
We appreciate your partnership and your continued dedication to serving Colorado’s children and families.
Sincerely,
Colorado Universal Preschool
