UWP Honored to Join as a Principal Partner with the Pre-K for PA Campaign! 

UWP is pleased to announce our partnership with the Pre-K for PA campaign! This is the first year we have joined the campaign as a principal partner, but have long been supporters of their efforts.  We are honored to advocate for early childhood education and bring more awareness to the benefits of high-quality pre-k in the educational development of Pennsylvania's children.

The campaign's vision is to ensure all children are able to enter school ready to succeed by making high-quality pre-k accessible to every 3- and 4- year old in Pennsylvania.  The goal is that by 2022, every at-risk child will have access to a high-quality pre-k program and middle-income families will more easily afford these services for their children.  It will take a significant investment from the state to ensure this goal can be reached and UWP, along with the Pre-K for PA campaign's other partners, are certain this can be achieved through education and a commitment from our state lawmakers.

UWP is excited to LIVE UNITED with the Pre-K for PA Campaign and its supporters to ensure every Pennsylvania child has the opportunity to attend a high-quality pre-k program.
