uriosity is our pathway to learning
We passionately believe that children learn best when they follow their interests. That's why our approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia method, focused on self-directed, experiential learning. Our children chart their own path to discovery while we guide them with engagement, encouragement, gentle direction, and caring.

amilies are our full partners
Parents and guardians are a child's first and most important teacher, and as such we integrate them as full partners into every aspect of our program. We look to parents for close communication, flexible involvement, and supportive guidance, not only regarding their own child's education but regarding the direction of UDCC for all students.
