  • Curriculum
  • Daily Schedule
  • Enrichment

The UWP Approach is a result of a lifetime of experience in education.

Our curricular programs, from kids as young as 18 months to 6 years, are designed with children’s developmental ages and stages in mind. So, depending on your child’s learning style, we differentiate instruction in the classroom as well as through our hand picked enrichment programs.

United World Preschool Daily Schedule

Your children will engage in a range of learning experiences that encourage critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, communication and collaboration through well designed individual, small and large group activities.

A typical day in our school is developed keeping the following in mind:

  • The children’s age and abilities for each year group
  • Daily play time, both structured and unstructured
  • Large blocks of Learning Centre time

Let us look at what a typical day may look like for your child (the sequence of events may differ from day to day).
