What is Universal Preschool (UPK) Colorado?
The state of Colorado will launched Universal Preschool (UPK) in the fall of 2023. UPK will offer 10-15 hours a week of state-funded, high-quality, voluntary preschool to every Colorado child who is age 4 in their year before entering kindergarten. The program is being funded through Colorado House Bill 22-1295 that resulted from the voter-approved nicotine tax measure that passed in November 2020.
Families will apply for UPK through a universal online application. Slots will be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis, with considerations made for students who are already enrolled in a preschool program that they wish to continue in.
City of Aurora Preschools will offer a variety of UPK programs at each of our five locations.
