An evaluation of the Denver Preschool Program: 2012-2013

Description:
The Denver Preschool Program (DPP) was approved by voters in 2006 to encourage families to enroll their 4-year-old children in quality preschool programs so that the children would enter kindergarten ready to learn and increase the likelihood of their success in kindergarten and beyond. Since its first year of operation during the 2007-08 school year, DPP has made enormous progress toward these goals. In 2013, DPP achieved the following milestones: A total of 175 providers, operating at 252 sites, served as approved DPP providers. A total of 5,467 children in the 2012-13 school year received approval for DPP tuition credits. Of the 252 sites, 207 have Qualistar ratings of 3 or 4 stars, the two highest ratings. The vast majority of DPP students were enrolled in top rated classrooms. In 2012-13, 90 percent of DPP students were enrolled in 3- or 4-star classrooms. In 2013, a total of 160 classrooms at 83 sites completed the re-rating process, bringing the total number of classrooms re-rated since 2010 to 555. (author abstract)
