Apply for Preschool
All families who would like their child to attend preschool must apply for a Pre-K spot on the UPK Colorado website. Applications are accepted for 4-year-olds and 3-year-olds with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
For three-year-olds without an IEP, you may fill out Academy District 20's Preschool Application for 3-Year-Olds (available on the side-bar of this page.) Openings for these students are limited and tuition is $260 per month (some schools may have additional fees).
