Play is the Work of Childhood
At UCNS, we believe that children learn best when they are invited to connect, explore, create, and imagine. Our preschoolers develop a love of learning, confidence in their ability to positively contribute to their classroom community, and enthusiasm to share their unique gifts, not only in preschool but throughout their lives.
In our classrooms, "play" looks like building a bridge (engineering), sharing a story (literacy), noticing and replicating patters in nature (cognitive/creative) and offering to help a friend (social-emotional). We provide the warm, enriching environment; they provide the wonder.
