Discovery Link is the only district run before school, after school, and full day camp offering in DPS. Currently, we classify both ECE (3-5 years old) and School Age (5-12 years old) offerings as Discovery Link. Over the last couple of years this has caused confusion with Colorado State Childcare Licensing, our team, and other district departments. Due to this we will be rebranding all of our ECE Licensed programs from Discovery Link ECE to “Little Links”. 

Little Links provides high-quality before-and after-school programs for early childhood students from ages 3 to 5 at over 20 locations across Denver. We provide a safe & nurturing environment that fosters learning, creativity, and social-emotional development. Our program supports the diverse needs of children and families while preparing young learners for future success. Graduates of Little Links transition smoothly into our School Age Discovery Link before-and after-school programs, where familiar staff, consistent routines, and a sense of community helps them thrive.

Effective August, 18th 2025, all of our Discovery Link ECE branding will be transitioned to Little Links. This includes the following:

Current Name/New Name:

Discovery Link ECE - AM/Little Links - AM

Kadoodles/Little Links - Mid-day

Discovery Link ECE - PM/Little Links - PM

Discovery Link ECE - Early Release/Little Links - Early Release

Discovery Link ECE - Full Day Camp/Little Links - Full Day Camp

All of our school aged programs will still be referred to as Discovery Link. We’re confident that being able to delineate between our licensed ECE and School Aged programs will allow for better alignment with the state and other district teams. Please note, all tuition rates and program experiences will stay the same and the only change will be the name of the program.
