Parents and Teachers Grow Together Here

At The Preschool Center, we believe that strong relationships between families and educators create the foundation for a child’s success. This page offers a glimpse into our collaborative approach - from parent involvement and communication to the supportive, skilled teachers who guide each child’s day with care and intention.

At The Preschool Center, we believe that parents are essential partners in a child’s learning journey. There are many ways for families to be involved - whether it's joining a classroom activity, sharing a special talent, coming along on a field trip, helping with an event, or attending parent-teacher conferences. These moments of connection help deepen each child’s experience and sense of belonging.

We value the collaborative relationship between families and teachers as a cornerstone of our approach. When we work together, we create a nurturing environment where children feel supported, known, and celebrated.

We also welcome feedback from parents as an important part of our annual reflection process. Your insights help us grow and strengthen our program in ways that are responsive to the needs of the children and the community we serve.

Our teachers are the heart of the school. With deep expertise, care, and dedication, they build classroom communities where every child feels safe, included, and empowered to learn and grow.

What Parents Are Saying

“I have nothing but the best things to say about The Preschool Center! When looking for a preschool for my son, it was recommended to me by most. We were nervous about his transition, however, all the teachers proved to be phenomenal. They do an excellent job of mixing learning, while keeping the environment fun and welcoming for the children. His love for school has grown since starting here as a 3 yo, and now he cannot wait to start kindergarten this fall! I encourage you to check out The Preschool Center...you won’t be disappointed!”
- Krisian S

“My oldest daughter attended the Preschool Center, and now my 3 year old goes there. The staff is attentive and caring…it’s easy to see they all love what they do! My daughter is excited to go to school to “play” with her friends and I am excited for the growth I have seen not only academically, but with social skills and life skills as well. We love the Preschool Center and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality program.”
— Lindsay T.

“The UCC Preschool Center has been the best preschool for preparing both of my children for their future schooling. My son is excelling in reading and writing in kindergarten thanks to all of them.”
— Kate B.

“My son is just finishing his second year - he will be entering kindergarten in the fall and I have so much confidence that he is more than ready and very much prepared for elementary school.”
