Full-Day Kindergarten
Beyond the Classroom. Beyond the Ordinary.
Led by our team of seasoned principals, kindergarten teachers and support staff, our students will excel in Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) academic standards as well as 21st century skills like creativity, connection and collaboration through an immersive outdoor play-based program.
Kindergarteners will engage in daily instruction in the core subjects of English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies as well as special areas. Wonder will take root as they explore their education through nature on our nearly 140 acres of campuses.
Students will have access to a provided breakfast, lunch, and transportation to-and-from school. Lunch can either be packed from home or purchased at school each day.
UCFSD is pleased to provide comprehensive special education services for students with identified disabilities. In addition, our counselors, mental health therapists, psychologists, social workers and other specialists ensure that each student gets the in-school support they need to succeed.
