UCPP is an incredible preschool! The staff approach each day and each child with such kindness, respect, patience, and intentionality. And fun! The focus on play and movement and outdoor time is a big draw for us, along with small class sizes, incredible staff training, and beautiful & calm classroom spaces. Ginger runs everything super smoothly and always with a smile. I couldn’t recommend UCPP more highly!
UCPP is the place to be! The kindest teachers and administrators. My daughter is excited for school everyday. Amazing sensory activities, lots of outdoors time, and many opportunities for families to come in. It truly feels like a family! Couldn’t recommend this school enough.
We’ve had the joy of sending two of our children to UCPP, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Every teacher and staff member we’ve met shares one defining quality — a genuine, heartfelt love for children. You can see it in the way they teach, the patience they show, and the care they pour into every interaction. It’s clear that this school is more than just a place of learning — it’s a community that nurtures growth, kindness, and confidence. We’re deeply grateful for the impact UCPP has had on our family, and we couldn’t imagine a better environment for our kids to learn and thrive.
I have sent two of my kids to UCP Preschool so far and it is such a special place for our family. When we first started our preschool search a few years ago it wasn’t on our radar, I had no idea it existed despite living close by. After multiple recommendations by a few friends we scheduled a tour and fell in love. We had actually enrolled our oldest child somewhere else for preschool and UCPP felt like a much better fit. We enrolled at UCP Preschool instead and have been thrilled with the experience. Our first child had the best experience in her one year and we regret not sending her to UCP sooner before she had to move on to kindergarten. She had so much fun learning, exploring, and socializing. Her teachers were the best of the best. Even though our first only had that one year in preschool it was incredibly impactful for her and gave her a solid foundation to move on and excel in kindergarten. Our second child is our more reserved and sensitive child and I had a lot of fears about sending him to school at age 3–we learned our lesson and made sure he got more years of fun! The staff at UCPP was incredibly accommodating, meeting with me before school started and giving me resources to help me with our struggles at home before school even started. When he did start school the staff was incredible with him; they were patient, kind, and welcoming. My three year old grew and matured so much. He developed wonderful relationships with all his teachers and absolutely loves school. The adults in the building have treated him with so much love and respect this year and met him right where he was. I couldn’t be happier with his experience and am so thankful. As a former early childhood educator the most important things for me in a preschool include a safe place to play and learn with exceptional social-emotional support. UCPP exceeds all my expectations. They provided exactly the perfect place for each of my very different which makes it all the more impressive. Plus the support they offer to parents is invaluable. The school uses Conscious Discpline and throughout the year offers workshops to help parents learn tools to help at home. The staff is warm and welcoming and I have always felt like a respected member of the team supporting my children. and UCP Preschool is the best of the best. I highly recommend it to everyone. Take the tour and see the beautiful space, meet the lovely staff, and feel the magic that happens. It’s a special place!
Our family just completed the second year as part of the UCPP family and our experience has been wonderful in every regard. The teachers are top-notch and truly care about the kids. The facility itself feels warm, clean, and safe. My 2 preschoolers thrive in the play based environment and I know special care is taken with not only their early education but their emotional development. It is a truly magnificent preschool.
