At New U Universe, our curriculum is based on idea that each child is a unique individual. Our focus is on meeting each child’s development, social, emotional, intellectual, and educational needs. We provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on process of learning and help children enjoy successful experiences.

Our thematic-based curriculum focuses on reading, writing, language, math, science, social studies, art, music, and physical fitness activities. Teachers and administrators spend time listening to and talking with children, helping kids reflect on their daily learning, The positive interactions between teachers and students encourage the development of emotional, linguistic, and social skills, leading to a strong sense of self and self-esteem.
