Welcome!
Welcome to the Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center
Our mission is simple: to enhance the development of very young children and promote healthy family functioning.
Creative Students
At Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center, “The Arts” serve as an underlying basis for our curriculum.
Education
Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center offers a free year-round, full-day developmentally appropriate educational program for children who turn three by September 1, certified teachers in every classroom, referrals to community resources, developmental screenings, and free breakfast, lunch and snack.
Building Critical Thinking Skills
Long-term investigations encourage critical thinking in math, science, literacy, and social and emotional skills. We integrate these skills through authentic real world experiences.
Full Day Educational Services
Union Public Schools has partnered with Community Action Project-Tulsa County (CAPTC) to provide an early childhood program. This partnership provides full day educational services at Rosa Park Early Childhood Education Center for Union families with children who turn three by September 1. Both educational programs require that you live in the Union School district and that you qualify via income for program entrance.
School Environment
Low-level lighting and thoughtful presentation and placement of open-ended authentic materials are just a few of the aspects that shape the environment of our school.

Parents, who have children enrolled at Union, are asked to complete a 2025-2026 Student Annual Information Update in the Parent Portal.
The last day of school for Union Public Schools will be Friday, May 23.
The Union Board of Education approved the change along with other schedule changes – including using three built-in snow days and adding 16 additional minutes to the school day beginning March 24 – in order to make up lost instruction due to the six days students missed school due to inclement winter weather.
A brief summary of the March 10 Board of Education meeting has been posted which includes information on next year's approved school calendar and the Darnaby Rangers winning at state.
