Welcome to the UDC family! At our home away from home, we use core values to guide our interactions and our programming. We do this through teamwork, empathy, nurturing and of course a sense of humor.
In order to achieve our values, communication is essential. Feeling valued and appreciated ensures that everyone is able to express themselves and be open to give and receive feedback.
Meeting the needs and interests of all at UDC is done by giving time and attention. We observe and listen to better understand, to gain a clearer perspective and to plan accordingly.
We know that feeling connected is at the root of a strong, positive relationship. It is the foundation of all our interactions between educators, children and our families.
The freedom to explore our environment both indoors and outdoors is a key element to our program. A variety of mediums are embraced along with a creative energy to bring ideas to life. Imagination and a sense of wonder lead our journey.
Diversity is celebrated at UDC, from culture to gender, to family dynamics and to each person’s individuality. We strive to include, embrace, and foster a sense of belonging for all who are a part of our UDC family.
