The facility plus maintenance and utilities is provided by the College free of charge. We appreciate the UPK – Universal Prekindergarteneep and maintenance the College provides. Our primary purpose is to provide quality care for children of students attending classes at SUNY New Paltz.

Our primary concern is the social and emotional development of each child. We strive to provide a loving and secure environment which encourages cooperation self-expression and respect for others. Our daily curriculum provides activities such as free play arts and crafts music story telling and outdoor play. Through various activities we try to foster a curiosity and respect for nature and for all the different cultures in the world around us. All themes are presented in an age appropriate relaxed and fun-filled way. Our program is based on non-competitive non-sexist and multicultural values. Most importantly we seek to respect the freedom of each child while providing structure and direction. This facility is authorized to administer over-the-counter topical ointments only
