“We are all teachers and performers, sharing our magic with those around us ...conjuring up the lessons...that inspire the adults of tomorrow.
  It is through our example of character and support of wonder that the children of today will know all their dreams can come true.”~ Walt Disney

Welcome to Upper Providence Elementary School, the next stage of assisting your child in reaching his or her highest potential! The UPES staff and I look forward to working with you and your child during these “wonder years.” The primary years are a time of self discovery for young children. Our partnership of school and home can establish a solid foundation for helping children to discover their unique and wonderful qualities.

We strive to celebrate each individual child while helping him or her to become a proud member of the Spring-Ford Area School District. Our staff is a highly skilled and creative team that continually engages in professional development that enriches our curriculum development and child development. We appreciate the time to learn together. We appreciate the time to work with you and your child.

If you have any questions about Upper Providence Elementary School, please contact our school office.  Debbie Schroer or Betsy Mastrocola will be happy to direct you on the right path to find the answers, 610-705-6009.

Children are like quilts,
Each piece carefully stitched together,
Sewn with smiles and tears,
Colored with memories,
And bound by love.
Together we create a special gift to the world.
One that will never be like any other before it
Or any yet to come.


We'd love to hear from you.
