Welcome
Help Save Upper Lonsdale Preschool!
We’ve been a beloved part of our community for over 75 years—but due to declining enrolment, we’re at risk of closing next year.
To stay open, we must fill 28 spots for the fall—only 14 are confirmed. We’re also aiming to raise $38,000 by May 31stto cover next year’s operating costs, giving us crucial time reimagine and build a sustainable future.
Without reaching one of these goals by May 31st, we’ll be forced to close our doors.
Traditional preschools like ours are disappearing, but we still believe in the power of play-based learning!
Help us continue our legacy. Any amount you can give will make a difference!
As a non-profit preschool, we have relied on the generous support of our community for the past 75+ years to keep our doors open. We are very grateful that you believe in us as much as we believe in the children. Thank you, from our preschool family to yours.

* ULP will be handing out a few ULP Express Account bag tags to each family and a couple of clear plastic bags.
* When you have a collection of bottles and cans that you need to return, fill up a clear plastic bag, and attach the ULP bag tag.
* Drop it off at an Express Return-It Kiosk (see locations here).
* The contents will be counted at a later time, and the refund amount will be sent to the Upper Lonsdale Preschool account as a donation.
There are 2 Express & GO locations at,

How it works:
- Go into the COBS in Park & Tilford to purchase your bread and bakery treats:
- Before they ring up your order, let them know that you are with the Upper Lonsdale Preschool fundraiser.
