Classrooms

Our classrooms are safe, respectful, and inclusive environments for children, where they can learn and grow at their own pace. What sets us apart from other centers is our low ratios, developmentally appropriate activities and continuity of care for your child through the use of care groups.. All of our teachers know all of the children and it is more of a family feel here at UUMCDC. We also value diversity and welcome families and people from all walks of life with the hope of inspiring understanding and tolerance across all ages and abilities.
