The First Mobile Preschool

in the city and county of denver

MILE HIGH UNITED WAY AND RIGHT ON MOBILE EDUCATION (ROME) HAVE LAUNCHED THE FIRST MOBILE PRESCHOOL IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER.

This fully-renovated airport shuttle turned classroom-on-wheels is, part of our United for Families program, which focuses on increasing access to high-quality early childhood education in under-resourced communities. The mobile preschool serves families in North Denver’s Globeville and Elyria-Swansea (GES) neighborhoods. GES is considered a childcare desert.

 

Mile High United Way and ROME worked collaboratively with parents living in the area to bring this initiative to life, so that children in these communities can access quality early learning opportunities and enter kindergarten ready to thrive.

    The bus travels to the GES community and parks in easily accessible locations to bring the preschool to the neighborhood and its residents.
