Welcome
Children at UCUM Preschool learn through play.
Cognitive and memory growth, social skills, self-regulation, and oral language are a few benefits of play. Come play with us!
About Us
NAEYC Accreditation
NAEYC stands for the National Association for the Education of Young Children. 30 years ago, UCUM Preschool became accredited and still chooses to work hard to retain this accreditation. A NAEYC preschool promotes positive relationships for all children and adults to encourage each child's sense of individual worth. It implements a curriculum that fosters all areas of child development and uses developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate and effective teaching approaches. It employs staff that has the necessary qualifications, knowledge, and professional commitment necessary to promote children's learning. We are proud to be a NAEYC accredited preschool.

Our Teachers
The teachers at Universal City United Methodist Preschool are devoted, loving, educated, and committed to giving each child a top notch play-based, enriched education. The children are spoken to respectfully and lovingly. The teachers are trained in the correct, positive way to speak to the children so that the children have the security that comes with consistency and being in an emotionally safe environment.
Our Learners
Children at UCUMP are eager, love to learn, and become problem solvers. Personal independence skills give the children confidence and a feeling of pride. Academics are introduced during circle time and are woven into the activities and centers. What the children know is that preschool is fun, safe, and satisfying!
Home of the Pre-K Rodeo
We are known as the "event school" in this area. Aside from the community helpers who visit us, we hold a Thanksgiving feast, cowboy cookouts, Transportation Day, an art show, Fiesta festivities, and our infamous Pre-K rodeo!
