UPK Storytime every Wednesday!

Join us every Wednesday for our UPK Story time with our parent partner Tameka on our Facebook live at 11am! 

After the story, you will learn about the UPK program. In Boston, we have Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK), which is a blended portfolio of programs funded by the City of Boston that offers high-quality options for three- and four-year-olds living in the city at no cost to families. UPK is a 6.5 hour school day for 180 days a year. The eligibility criteria are:

· The child is three to four years of age as of September 1 of the school year for which you are seeking to enroll;
· A Boston resident.
