Universal Prekindergarten at E.A. White Elementary

E.A. White Elementary offers a Universal Prekindergarten program. This full-day program is open to all eligible military-connected children who turn four years old on or before September 1, 2025. To enroll, families must reside in Patton Village on Fort Benning. If that’s you, we would love to welcome your child into our learning community.

What makes this program special?
Our UPK program is all about giving young learners a strong start in a fun and supportive environment. Here is what families can expect:

• A play-based, hands-on approach to learning
• Activities that support cognitive, language, social-emotional, and physical development
• Family-style dining that encourages independence and social skills
• A full day of learning, discovery, and growth
