ECE Enrollment

Enrollment Information for Early Childhood Education at KIPP Colorado

We’re excited you’re here! This year, 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. Families who complete both applications during the first round will be prioritized for enrollment.

ECE-3

  1. Apply on the DPS SchoolChoice website between January 13 (opens at 8:00 am) and February 14 (closes at 4:00 pm). Select up to 12 programs to which you would like to apply.
  2. Apply on the UPK website between January 17 (opens at 8:00 am) and February 14 to see if you’re eligible for additional funding.
