The purpose of our Curriculum Night is to promote understanding of how our teachers meet your child's developmental needs through hands-on activities.  We hope all our families attend and enjoy Curriculum Nights at UCCC!  We typically hold them in the early fall and start the evening with a light dinner followed by individual classroom activities.

We use Creative Curriculum in our classrooms which is enhanced by our Spheres of Understanding.  In addition, the DECA screening results are used to build children's resiliency through individualized and classroom planning.
