Parents, are you looking for a way to become involved at UADC? Volunteer your time in the classroom, on the playground, or in the office. There are many ways in which you can help out at UADC.

• Chaperones on field trips are always appreciated. Check with your child's teacher for a schedule of upcoming trips.
• Can you spare an hour over lunch? How about assisting in the office?
• Join the Board of Directors and become a part of the decision-making process.

One important way to support your non-profit daycare center, is to tell others about it. Consider printing and posting flyers on bulletin boards where you shop, work or hang out. Many businesses have bulletin boards which are cleared weekly or monthly; always check posting guidelines before posting on private property, and be prepared to replace your poster from time to time. You may find copies of our current flyers here. Thanks for your help!
