DEAR EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS,
As the Local Coordinating Organization for Universal Pre-K in El Paso County, Joint Initiatives for Youth + Families is sharing additional information with you from the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC).
We've also updated our LCO-UPK Info Hub with NEW information for early childhood programs AND families, and you'll find important details in our Universal Pre-K Flyer for Providers HERE.
PROVIDER AGREEMENT UPDATE
Due to the recent challenges LCOs and providers are facing when signing the Provider Agreement within the UPK Colorado Application Portal, providers can now be published in the system if an agreement has not been signed. All you need to do is register, create a profile, and submit the registration form in the UPK Colorado application system. This streamlined process will allow a provider to be visible when the family application launches on January 17th. More information will be provided as your LCO receives updates from the CDEC. For more on registering in the application portal, download the CDEC Provider Guide (page 23).
YOUR LCO IS HERE TO HELP
Joint Initiatives is your local partner in UPK implementation. Please reach out to us with program questions and needs, and feel free to send families our way with questions as well. We are here to support your success and are thrilled that you are part of this exciting opportunity for children and families in our state.
