DPP Scholarship
Preschool for 3s In its third year, Preschool for 3s has created a needed continuum of support for families enrolled in a community-based preschool program. Based on two decades of research, we know that starting preschool at age three strengthens language, social-emotional skills, and overall school readiness, giving children a stronger foundation for success. Because funding is limited, DPP prioritizes support for three-year-olds based on household income to ensure families facing the most significant financial barriers receive the most help. By investing in both three and four-year olds, we are making high-quality preschool more accessible and setting more Denver children up for a bright future.
By the Numbers
The DPP Scholarship ensures more children can access high-quality preschool by creating additional financial support for eligible families. Families receiving the DPP Scholarship pay zero preschool tuition, freeing up funds they may have otherwise used on preschool to afford other essential needs like rent and food. This scholarship fills a critical gap in the early education landscape, helping children with harsh barriers to access and opportunities be set-up for success in kindergarten and beyond.
