RFP 5-19-1 - Preschool Program Provider

Littleton Public Schools desires to contract with highly qualified early childhood education and child care programs to provide preschool educational services to three and four year old children who are at risk for school readiness due to research-based risk factors. The attached page lists those qualifying risk factors. A child three years of age must have at least three risk factors to receive funding, while a four year old child must have at least one risk factor. The school district is committed to serving these children with Colorado Preschool Program funds that are awarded to the school district by the Colorado General Assembly.

The legislature outlines CPP requirements in a document known as the Administration of the Colorado Preschool Program Act. It requires the CPP District Council and the School District to conduct a formal application process. This Request for Proposal (RFP) enclosed is being distributed throughout the community in order to be in compliance with this requirement.

In order to be considered for the Littleton Public Schools CPP Program, applicants must submit a completed RFP packet, which includes:
 

• • Completed Application
  • Photocopy of Colorado Childcare License
  • Copies of qualifications of Director and staff that may serve CPP students
  • Proof of Liability Insurance
  • Signed Assurances Form
  • Summary of most recent program evaluation (include ECERS or CLASS results, Colorado Shines Rating Summary Sheet)
  • Letters of recommendation from parents and community members
