Invest in Our Children’s Future: Support AUCP’s Resiliency Fund
At AUCP, we focus on the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of each individual child. Our preschool is more than just a place to learn—it’s a community where children explore, grow, and build resilience through hands-on experiences.
As we look to the future, we face the challenge of significant rent increases over the next few years. To continue providing exceptional programs while keeping tuition accessible to families, we need your support.
