Thanks for bidding and supporting Fort Collins Preschool!

ABOUT FCPS

In operation since 1952, FCPS is raising funds to continue our mission of providing a loving, child-first early education program with a supportive parent community. Funds raised will help keep our tuition low and make scholarships available to Northern Colorado families who may otherwise be unable to afford preschool for their children.

Research shows that high-quality early education boosts language, math and cognitive skills. It also leads to better social skills, more positive relationships and decreased chances of dropping out, repeating grades, or facing disciplinary or legal issues.

THANK YOU!

Heartfelt THANKS to you and all of our donors for supporting Fort Collins-area children. 

WHEN DO I BID? HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
