text:  Colorado is the second state after Washington to approve licenses for outdoor preschools, sometimes called forest preschools. Right now, the schools are private and operate with a licensing exemption. A new state law signed last month means that lower-income families could tap into Colorado's universal pre-K program and get up to 30 free hours at outdoor preschools. Kat Owens is a member of the Colorado Collective for Nature-Based Early Learning. This type of education should be available to more families across the state. Yeah.
