UP Preschool & Kindergarten

Climbing The Developmental Ladder

Play-Based Learning

Children learn best when they are actively engaged in hands-on, meaningful experiences that align with their natural curiosity and interests. This method emphasizes the role of play as a critical driver of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development

City Exploration

Children participate in daily neighborhood walks and weekly field trips, utilizing the city bus system to explore and engage with the community. These excursions include visits to local libraries, parks, and other nearby resources, fostering a sense of connection to their environment while promoting curiosity, social interaction, and experiential learning.

Relationship-Based

We prioritize nurturing positive, responsive relationships among children, educators, and families, recognizing these as the foundation for a child’s development and sense of belonging in preschool.
