The Unionville-Chadds Ford School District (UCFSD) announced the opening of registration for its highly anticipated full-day kindergarten program for the 2025-26 school year. Registration begins Monday, Jan. 13 for instruction offered at Chadds Ford, Hillendale, Pocopson, and Unionville Elementary Schools.
This new offering represents an important milestone for UCFSD, providing an innovative and enriching foundation for young learners. Designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning, the program combines academic instruction with opportunities to develop key skills such as collaboration, communication, and teamwork.
Kindergarteners will engage in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies while exploring their natural curiosity through immersive outdoor, play-based learning. With nearly 140 acres of campuses as their classroom, students will experience a dynamic education that aligns with UCFSD’s Portrait of a Graduate, inspiring them to build character and embrace lifelong learning.
“UCFSD’s full-day kindergarten is more than just an extended schedule—it’s a thoughtful foundation for our students, designed to ignite curiosity, foster a love of learning, and set the stage for future success,” said Michael Audevard, Director of Curriculum & Instruction.
To help families learn more about this exciting new offering, UCFSD will host a virtual information session on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. The session will provide an overview of the program, eligibility requirements, and the registration process, which typically takes three to four weeks to complete.
Parents are encouraged to register early to secure their child’s place in this transformative program. Eligible students must reside in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and turn five years old on or before September 1, 2025.
