Preschool Special Education and Child Find

Preschool special education is a state and federally mandated program for three- and four-year-old children who are experiencing challenges in their learning and development and meet state eligibility criteria for special education and related services.

Universal Preschool (UPK) Colorado
Universal Preschool (UPK) Colorado allows families to choose the right setting for their child, whether it is in a licensed community-based, school-based or home-based preschool setting. Families of children in the year before they are eligible for kindergarten, and qualifying 3-year-olds, are able to apply for UPK Colorado.
