Is kindergarten mandatory in Colorado?
While kindergarten is not mandatory in Colorado, Douglas County’s Early Childhood programs for children from birth to age eight provide a balanced curriculum for all areas of a child’s development: cognitive, physical, social and emotional. Research and teacher experience have led us to develop and implement programs where children learn in active exploration throughout their early childhood years. We gained national recognition when our kindergartens were the first public school program in the nation accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
