The UPK program is required to be five days a week.

Our half day program is 2 ½ hours per day and our full day program is 5 ½ hours per day. The Ginther School's UPK program times are:

• UPK Full Day 8:45 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
• UPK AM 8:45 a.m. - 11:15 a.m.
• UPK PM 12:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Our outside agency locations offer either full-day or half-day options, depending on the location. These locations will determine their own schedule.

The focus of the curriculum will be literacy, based on the NYS Pre-School Standards, but there will also be math, science and social studies lessons. Physical education, art and music experiences are provided within the UPK classroom.

There are no direct costs to families for the UPK academic program at either Ginther School or the outside agencies. Families are required to provide transportation to and from UPK. School supplies are provided at no cost and snacks are provided to students each day. Lunch is provided for full day students.

A lottery is required when there are too many families requesting the same program and/or location.

The application of interest will be sent directly to families that are currently in our student database in November. Please, return the form by December 22, 2023. If you notify us of interest in the UPK program, you will receive a registration packet in the middle of January.
