Denver Preschool Program
www.denverpreschoolprogram.org/?page=Parents

The Denver Preschool Program (DPP) is the result of a voter approved initiative to provide tuition credits for parents and quality improvement grants to preschools. DPP is open and voluntary for all Denver children the year before they are eligible for kindergarten. A Denver family may use the tuition credit with any preschool provider who is licensed by the state and has a contract with the Denver Preschool Program, regardless of where that provider is located. Parents can download information and application forms from the website.
