How to Apply to UMC Preschool – Burlingame

Schedule a Tour

Before applying to UMC, you must complete a tour of our school.

We offer in-person tours to families interested in learning more about UMC Preschool – Burlingame. This is a required first step in our registration process. Tours allow families to learn about our programs, teaching philosophy, view our excellent facilities and get to know our wonderful teaching staff. This also gives families the opportunity to ask specific questions.

I love this school! I’m so happy that we’ve had the opportunity to send our children here. We are in our fourth year and the kids run in every day. The teachers are all long term at the school and their passion shows in every lesson. We also love the community and have made life long friends, both kids and adults.

I definitely recommend taking a tour if you are interested in seeing the school and meeting the amazing staff.
