Discover a Nurturing and Hands-on Experience at The BeeSchool Preschool
At The BeeSchool Preschool, learning comes naturally as your child enters a warm and unique environment where he or she can laugh, play, and discover. Our play-based hands-on philosophy at Upland Country Day School, combined with our outdoor education and our special related arts classes, creates an enriching experience that enhances social, emotional, intellectual, cognitive, fine, and gross motor skills. Join us on our idyllic 23-acre campus as your child enters their "home away from home."

Preschool at Upland is about more than just the classroom. We want our Bees to be active members of the Upland school community – We combine traditional theme-based learning with outdoor education, educating the whole child.

Give your child the best start
At The BeeSchool Preschool, we believe that every child is unique and has unlimited potential. Designed for students who are at least two years and seven months old by August 31st and potty trained, our play-based philosophy promotes holistic development, allowing children to learn, grow, and thrive at their own pace.
Ignite a love for language & literacy
At The BeeSchool Preschool, we believe in the power of literature to spark curiosity and ignite a love for learning. Our students are exposed to a wide range of genres, allowing them to explore different worlds, expand their vocabulary, learn the alphabet, and develop a strong foundation in for future literacy.
Make learning an adventure
Learning happens best when children are actively engaged. Influenced by the Growing Up Wild curriculum, that’s why we offer a weekly PE class, yoga class, and a wide variety of outdoor adventures around our beautiful campus. Your child grows as they explore and discover his or her environment.
Nurture your child's boundless potential
Our curriculum is designed harness the power of play-based learning, engaging your child in activities that promote numerical understanding, scientific exploration, pattern recognition, and a deep connection with nature. Watch as your child develops essential skills while having fun and building confidence.
