NPS currently offers tuition assistance through the Denver Preschool Program and Universal PreK for qualifying students.

The DPP preschool tuition calculator estimates monthly tuition assistance for your 4-year-old at a participating DPP preschool. It offers an estimate, not a guarantee. All Denver families receive a tuition credit, regardless of income, to lower your preschool costs.
