About United Community Nursery School
UCNS believes that a child who is secure and confident will find the world inviting, and seeks to provide both a supportive and a stimulating preschool environment. United Community's non-sectarian program serves a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

UCNS also has a long tradition of service to children with special needs.
