Early Childhood Center
Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center
Welcome to Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center. Its mission is simple: to enhance the development of very young children and promote healthy family functioning.
Union Public Schools has joined with Community Action Project-Tulsa County (CAPTC) to expand its early childhood program. This partnership provides both weekly home-based visitation services for families with infants and toddlers through the age of three; as well as 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.
