Denver Public Schools will roll out its revamped preschool program today, the day people can begin filling out applications for next year’s classes.
The district expects to offer classes for 1,400 more students and add many more full-day offerings using money collected through a city sales tax.
About 4,000 children now attend preschool classes in the district — with 3,500 children in half-day classes. The district will add 25 to 35 classrooms across the region to increase the number of full-day classes and more the following year.
Applications for preschool may be picked up at the district’s elementary schools and should be completed and turned in by Feb. 22.
Applications for full-day kindergarten must be completed by Thursday.
