Universal Preschool

All children in Archuleta can apply for up to 15 hours per week of tuition-free, high-quality preschool in their year before kindergarten through Colorado’s Universal Preschool program. See More Information in the UPK Guide for Families.

  • Families may qualify for more free hours based on a number of qualifying factors, per available funding. See more information here.
  • Depending on the provider, families have the option of paying for additional hours if desired.
  • Families of 3-year-olds should contact their school district for preschool services.
  • Preschool-aged children with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) should contact their Special Education Administrative Unit (AU) before registering.
  • Families who choose to send their children to kindergarten on a delayed schedule can still utilize their funding in the year defined by their local school district as the year before kindergarten and then pay for another year of preschool after that. The funding can not be utilized in any other program year than the year before kindergarten, as defined by the local school district.
