UPK FAMILY REGISTRATION OPENS FEB. 29TH at NOON
Here’s what you need to know!
AGE REQUIREMENT FOR UPK
To be eligible for UPK support, the child must be 4-years-old (and not 5 years old) by October 1, 2024, or their applicable school kindergarten eligibility cut off date if different than October 1st.
-
Family registration: upk.colorado.gov
- To register, the family must have an email address.
THREE UPK CATEGORIES FOR CHILDREN REGISTERING:
-
Continuity of Care: Children who have Continuity of Care with a UPK provider (child currently attending, sibling currently attending, or has a family member currently employed with a UPK Provider). View the FAMILY HANDBOOK to learn how to register and next steps if the child has Continuity of Care (also known as pre-registration).
-
New to UPK: Child who are not currently attending at a UPK provider but would like to attend in the fall of 2024. View the FAMILY HANDBOOK to learn how to register and next steps if the child is new to UPK.
-
Child with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). View the FAMILY HANDBOOK to learn how to register and next steps if the child has an IEP.
NEW! CHANGE IN REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR 3-YEAR-OLDS
- Any family who wishes to register their three-year-old child who will be two years out from kindergarten in the fall (generally 3-years-old by October 1, 2024, but not four by October 1, 2024) will apply directly to their home school district and will NOT register in the UPK system.
- The ONLY exception to this are 3-year-olds who have an IEP. They will register in the UPK system at upk.colorado.gov as if they were a 4-year-old and the next steps will be the same as a 4-year-old child with an IEP.
Please note that families with 3-year-olds who do not wish to be served by their school district can go directly to the provider of their choice and access a tuition-based seat (if available) with that provider.
