Tuesday, September 30, 2025

DENVER - Today, in a major win for Colorado families and the state’s highly popular and successful Universal Preschool, the 10th Circuit of Appeals upheld a federal district court’s denial of a permanent injunction against the state in St Mary's Catholic Parish v. Roy.

 

"Colorado’s highly popular, free Universal Preschool saves families more than $6,000 dollars per year, gives students a strong start, and has skyrocketed Colorado from 27th in preschool enrollment to 3rd. We are building a Colorado for all, where every student is free from discrimination and this voter-approved initiative continues to enroll approximately 70% of all eligible four-year-olds each school year and many faith based and secular providers are operating terrific preschools that serve parents and children well," said Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
