Free Preschool

Elwell and Milliken Early Learning Centers are proud to provide high-quality early childhood education to families in the community. Through Colorado Universal Preschool, all 4-year-old children qualify for tuition-free preschool, with convenient part-time program options available at no cost. Families of 3-year-olds may also be eligible for preschool services.

Programs are offered at two locations and include both full-day and half-day schedules, depending on the site. The Milliken Early Learning Center offers full-day (8:15 AM – 3:45 PM) and half-day options, while the Elwell Early Learning Center provides half-day programming with morning and afternoon sessions.

Our early learning programs focus on:

• Play-based, engaging instruction
• Caring and highly qualified educators
• Building kindergarten readiness skills
• Creating a safe, nurturing environment for every child

Spaces are limited, and early application is encouraged. Families can apply through Colorado’s Universal Preschool program at upk.colorado.gov or contact (970) 373-4870 for more information.

At Elwell and Milliken Early Learning Centers, young learners build strong foundations for success—because little ponies grow into big futures.
