2023-2024 Preschool Registration Update for children who will attend preschool the year before entering kindergarten

Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) will fund at least 10 hours per week of high-quality, voluntary preschool for every child in Colorado for the year before entering Kindergarten. While this is exciting news for our families, the state’s procedure for registering students is still being finalized and does not align with LPS’ current preschool registration timelines. Therefore, LPS will have a two-step process for preschool registration this year.The first part of the process will be to complete the online universal preschool registration form, which will be available mid-January, 2023. Once matched to an LPS preschool, families will then need to complete the registration process for the district and the preschool. Please find more information on the LPS website.
