DQ QAAA 2024000217 – Alternative Curriculum - DQ QAAA 2024000217 – Alternative Curriculum

The Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) is entering the launch phase of Colorado Universal Preschool and has identified a number of areas critical to implementation, including the development of Universal Preschool Program quality standards, a resource library to support the implementation of the standards, and a technical assistance plan for the Local Coordinating Organizations (LCOs). House Bill 22-1295 (HB 1295) requires a thorough stakeholder and rulemaking process to develop, codify, and implement the quality standards and also requires CDEC to support the LCOs in capacity-building. This documented quote proposal will detail a timeline and scope of work for: the Universal Preschool Program for the submission of alternative curriculum that not only addresses the requirements of HB 1295 but also fully advances CDEC’s mission to deliver a community- informed, high quality and equitable system that supports young children, their families, as well as early childhood professionals in all settings.
