🎯 Our Mission
🌍 We are a diverse school community that provides high-quality education for the whole child — academically, socially, and emotionally.
🌟 Our Vision
📘 To create an early childhood model school that is committed to developing life-long learners and joyful explorers.
🌱 Our Bright Beginnings
🏫 The center is named after Anita Uphaus, who dedicated over 30 years to early childhood education at Austin ISD.
👩🏫 She served as a kindergarten teacher, early childhood administrator, and supervisor of Early Childhood Programs from 1981 to 2006.
🧠 Her passion for learning helped shape the district’s Pre-K and Kindergarten programs that continue to grow today.
🎨 Uphaus’ love of learning is woven into every detail of the school’s design:
🔠 A U-shaped building with
🖍️ Crayon-shaped pillars,
🌈 Bright, colorful hallways,
📚 A library with a giant tree entrance that invites young readers into a world of imagination.
🏘️ Our campus includes:
🖼️ 24 engaging classrooms
🎵 A dedicated music room
🎨 A creative art room
👨👩👧 A Parent Resource Room
🪟 Child-height windows and large alphabet letters on the building’s exterior bring joy to every visit.
🌿 Sustainability is key:
♻️ Built using recyclable and local materials
🌞 Natural light streams through skylights
🌡️ Smart design helps maintain a comfortable temperature inside every classroom.
