School-Age Care Programs

  • School-age care programs are licensed and monitored by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC).
     
  • A school-age child care program provides care for five or more children between the ages of 5 and 16 years old. School-age care programs are open for more than one week during the year. School-age care programs may be called “day camps”, “summer camps”, or “summer playground programs.” They might also be called “before and after school programs” and “extended day programs.”
     
  • These types of programs may be offered in a school, community center, park, or other location.
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.
