The Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program (UPK) is a state-funded program for which the Administration of the Auburn Enlarged City School District applies each year. The Montessori School of the Finger Lakes is one of the approved sites in the district that contract with the administration to provide one year of full-day preschool to eligible children. Parents/guardians of children who reach the age of four by December 1st and who live within the district are eligible to apply. Grants may be determined upon income eligibility guidelines and are solely determined by the administration of the Auburn Enlarged City School District.
Applications are available through the Harriet Tubman Administration Office at 78 Thornton Avenue in Auburn in the spring for the following school year.
