Students are encouraged to explore their interests and talents. In-classroom activities include art, music, physical movement, and multiple hands-on projects that develop both fine and gross motor skills.
Family partnership is an essential part of the UPK program. Teachers like to connect with the families prior to the program starting to ease the transition to school. Opportunities for parents to participate in classroom-based activities are planned throughout the year.
