UMHS preschool programs offer enriching early learning experiences in enjoyable, safe environments designed to foster social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our comprehensive services extend beyond the child to support the entire family, encompassing mental and physical health, family services, and nutrition. We empower parents and caregivers to become confident advocates and leaders in early childhood education. Together with parents, staff, and children, we envision a future that embraces diversity, values individual contributions, and enables everyone to thrive.
