Governor Primavera joined legislative leadership, bill sponsors, parents, providers, and early childhood education community leaders to highlight the state’s nation-leading progress implementing the new Department of Early Childhood and delivering on the promise of universal preschool for children across Colorado. Universal preschool will save Coloradans on average $4,300 per year. “We promised universal preschool, and today, in partnership with legislative leaders and strong early childhood community support, we are delivering on that promise, saving families money, and helping to ensure Colorado’s kids, families, and parents can thrive,” said Governor Polis. “Strong early childhood education leads to a stronger workforce and a better economy, and is one of the best investments we can make in Colorado’s future.” The Polis-Primavera Administration has taken bold steps since day one to make high-quality, affordable early childhood education a reality for Colorado families, and the newly introduced legislation will elevate early childhood education and ensure an easy to navigate early childhood preschool experience for Colorado families. The administration has partnered with state lawmakers to make universal preschool a reality for hardworking families, parents and kids. The program will provide 10 hours per week of free, high-quality preschool to every child the year before entering kindergarten starting in the 2023 school year.
