If your child is turning four this year, now is the time to secure their spot in a high-quality preschool in Greeley, and it’s completely free. ABC East Child Development Center is proud to offer Universal Preschool (UPK) for eligible 4-year-olds, providing a strong foundation for kindergarten and lifelong learning.
Why Pre-K Matters
Preschool isn’t just a place to play; it’s where crucial developmental milestones take shape. At ABC East, we combine play-based learning with intentional teaching strategies aligned with Colorado’s early learning guidelines. Our programs are built to:
- Boost early literacy and numeracy
- Strengthen social-emotional skills
- Foster independence and curiosity
- Prepare children for success in kindergarten and beyond
Top Tip: According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), children who attend high-quality preschool programs are more likely to develop strong problem-solving skills and emotional resilience.
What Families Can Expect from UPK at ABC East
Our UPK program is part of Colorado’s state-funded initiative to make early education more accessible. ABC East is an approved provider, offering:
- Certified teachers with extensive early childhood experience
- Developmentally appropriate curriculum that supports the whole child
- Small class sizes and individualized attention
- Safe, welcoming environments for exploration and discovery
We believe that early learning is most effective when families are actively involved. That’s why we encourage open communication, regular updates, and family engagement activities throughout the school year.
