ECE Enrollment

Enrollment Information for Early Childhood Education at KIPP Colorado


Come learn with us! We are excited to partner with Universal Preschool (UPK), providing extra tuition assistance to all our incoming 4-year-old students and a portion of our incoming 3-year-olds. As a result of this program, there are shifts to how families will now enroll in ECE programming at a statewide level. Families must complete 2 separate applications to enroll ECE-aged students in programming. After completing the DPS SchoolChoice application, families will receive direct communication from DPS to complete the UPK application. Families who complete both applications during the first round will be prioritized for enrollment.

 

We are still enrolling through April 2024 for the 23-24 school year! Apply today!
