Our Mission
Help children develop “the whole child”. This includes the five selves of being which are: social, emotional, physical, creative and cognitive.
UPNS has three classes: the Kitten room, for 2-year-olds; the Kangaroo room, for 3-year-olds; and the Dolphin room, for 4-year-olds. There are approximately 10-15 children in each classroom.
