For many students, daycare is their first structured social experience independent from their parents. While this has always been a critical service for busy families, it has been increasingly recognized as a critical point in the early development of children's communication and language skills. Nurturing key cognitive skills such as spelling and speaking early is crucial for ensuring intellectual development and allowing adolescents to reach their maximum potential. For this reason, we see the ULA as much more than just a daycare, but the first step in your child's educational journey.
Children are born with a remarkable ability for learning new languages and sounds that rapidly fades if not used. Our bilingual approach provides students the building blocks for fluency in both English and Ukrainian, improving communication and cognitive range.
Our focus on group formats in tandem with individual activities allows children to both explore their personalities and interests while learning how to communicate their needs and wants to those around. This key skill is critical for success in grade school and is a key part of our program.
In our fast-paced society, it can be difficult to find meaningful opportunities to introduce our children to their heritage. The ULA strives to connect Ukrainian-American students to their family's roots, and set the foundation for a lifelong love and understanding of the place many of us still call home.
The ULA pre-school program offers a variety of classes for preschool children: Language Development, ABCs/Abetka, pre-writing, logical thinking/early math, arts & crafts, music, dancing, gymnastics. They are designed to meet the needs and abilities of each child’s physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development.
The ULA pre-kindergarten program (taught in English) intend to prepare your child for important school years ahead by teaching letters and words, math and science concepts, self-reliance and valuable social skills.
We take pride in our dual approach focused on traditional pre-elementary education and cultural enrichment. Language learning and acquisition is greatest in these early formative years, and the roots laid down by our program will allow your child to grow into a well rounded and dynamic student. Whether you are looking for a foundational pre-school education or additional exposure to their Ukrainian heritage, the flexibility and breadth of the ULA curriculum provides a world class experience suited to your child's needs.
