University City United Church Preschool

Welcome to UCUC Preschool!

At University City United Church Preschool, we believe that every child is a unique little star! Our part-day enrichment program is designed for children aged 2 to 5 years, providing a warm and nurturing environment where they can shine bright.

Founded in 1970 by the caring folks at the University City United Church, our preschool started as a way to reach out to the UC community and the surrounding neighborhoods. We are proud to welcome children from all walks of life, regardless of religion, race, color, or national origin. Everyone is invited to join our family!

We are licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services, ensuring that we meet the highest standards of care and education.

Our Mission

At UCUC Preschool, we partner with families to help each child grow in wonderful ways. Our goals include:

• Building positive self-esteem
• Encouraging social, cognitive, and physical growth
• Fostering respect for others and the natural world
• Celebrating the individual personalities and cultural diversity of each child

Learning Through Play

We believe that learning should be fun! Children at UCUC Preschool are invited to take charge of their own learning. They can make choices at various centers and engage in exciting project work. This sense of ownership and self-direction is the foundation for a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Join us at UCUC Preschool, where every day is a new adventure in learning and friendship!
