🚗🎃 Now THAT’S a Trunk or Treat!

What made our UVSO Ivy Hill Trunk or Treat special wasn’t just the candy and costumes—it was the incredible number of families, neighbors, and staff who pulled up, decorated their cars, opened their trunks, and created a memorable experience for our children. 🍬👻

Every decorated car represented someone who took the time to show up for our students and our community. 💙

A huge THANK YOU to our parents, neighbors, staff, volunteers, and community partners for bringing the energy and making this celebration possible. Your participation turned a school event into a true community experience.

This is what being UNIFIED looks like. 🤝🏽

🩺💙 The doctor is in at Smith Street!

During our Trunk or Treat, “Dr. Ava” stopped for a photo with Nurse Cohen, our Smith Street Site Director—and we couldn’t resist this future healthcare team moment! 👩🏾‍⚕️🩺

From imaginative costumes to real-life role models, our children are already dreaming about who they can become. At UVSO, we love creating spaces where our students can learn, explore, imagine, and have fun.

Who knows? We may be looking at a future doctor in the making! 🌟

🎒📚 Connecting Newark families to a strong start at UVSO!

UVSO’s Site Directors and Family Workers were proud to represent Unified Vailsburg Services Organization at this year’s Newark Enrolls All Schools Fair, reaching families from across the city and sharing information about enrollment opportunities at our three early childhood education sites.

🏫 Palm Street Child Development Center
🏫 Ivy Hill
🏫 Smith Street

Our presence at the fair is part of UVSO’s continued commitment to community outreach, family engagement, and enrollment—making sure Newark parents know about the quality early childhood education and family support available right here in our community.

Our team was able to connect directly with parents, answer questions, introduce families to our programs, and help prospective families take the next step toward enrollment.

📣 Enrollment opportunities are still available!

If you’re looking for early childhood education for your family—or know a Newark parent who is—connect with UVSO to learn which of our three locations may be the right fit.
