At United Friends School, preschool is more than preparation for what comes next, it’s a meaningful stage of childhood in its own right.
Here, learning begins with play.
Children explore, experiment, and create through hands-on experiences designed to support how 3- and 4-year-olds naturally learn.
In classrooms rooted in care and curiosity, each child is seen, known, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

What Your Child Will Experience
Through daily experiences and thoughtful guidance, children begin building the foundations that support lifelong learning:
Early Literacy
Develop vocabulary, letter recognition, storytelling, and listening skills through rich language experiences and meaningful conversations.
Early Math Concepts
Counting, sorting, patterning, and simple problem-solving emerge naturally through play and exploration.
Scientific Thinking
Children observe, ask questions, and experiment as they engage with the natural world around them.
Social & Emotional Growth
In a supportive environment, children practice collaboration, self-regulation, empathy, and confidence.
Creativity & Imagination
Open-ended play, art, and dramatic experiences allow children to express themselves and think creatively.
A Thoughtfully Designed Learning Approach
✅ Emergent, Project-Based Curriculum
Learning grows from children’s interests. Teachers guide deeper exploration through projects that build early literacy, math, and critical thinking skills in ways that feel meaningful and engaging.
✅ Play-Based, Child-Centered Classrooms
Children are active participants in their learning. Academic foundations are woven into experiences that feel natural, not forced.
✅ Seasonal Nature Exploration
From nature tables to outdoor classrooms and gardening, children engage with the changing seasons, building early science skills through observation and discovery.
✅ Guided by Quaker Values
Daily life at UFS reflects values of community, reflection, empathy, and respect, helping children grow not only as learners, but as thoughtful people.

What Our Students' Families Have to Say...
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"United Friends School has been a wonderful atmosphere for my kids. They are free to be themselves and all the teachers appreciate each student for who they are as they begin to find their own identities. As a parent, all I want is for my children to be excited to see their teacher and learn in an environment where they feel safe and confident. I am so grateful to have found this warm engaging school that not only provides my children with all the academic skills but also reflective critical thinking skills while still being a nurturing environment."

"We have really enjoyed being apart of the United Friends community for the past 3 years. UFS is so welcoming and has excellent and very dedicated teachers who go above and beyond to create experiential learning opportunities and activities. They teach the “whole” child and embrace their individuality and celebrate their talents. We are very happy and would recommend their program."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about UFS. This will be our sixth year there and my children love their school. The faculty is amazing and really goes above and beyond to make sure each child has a learning environment in which they can thrive. They spend a lot of time outside and their lessons are very hands on. There are also opportunities for tuition assistance which makes it possible for our family to afford a Quaker Education. I couldn’t imagine sending them anywhere else."
