Hooray for Pre-K!

Did you know that Julie’s will be offering Boston UPK seats for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year?

Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK), is an initiative by the City of Boston and Boston Public Schools, that promises to deliver high-quality pre-kindergarten that is free of cost to Boston’s three and four-year-old children. Pre-K is a 6.5-hour school day for 180 days per year.

High-quality pre-kindergarten means:

  • Pre-Kindergarten program that exceeds national standards
  • All Lead Pre-K teachers have a Bachelors Degree and are prepared to teach in classroom settings to support students of all backgrounds and needs.
  • Teachers receive ongoing professional development throughout the year to enhance their teaching.
  • Expert coaches provide ongoing support to teachers.
  • Students learn from the Boston Public Schools Focus on Pre-K curriculum and the Building Blocks curriculum, which are national models in early childhood education.
  • All classroom environments are age-appropriate and culturally responsive.
