We offer assessments and will evaluate your child to determine if UCP is the best place for his/her needs and can also offer referrals if we are not able to provide services.
We not only impact our member’s life, but the entire family

Our Laura Dozer Center provides a warm nurturing environment
Our north Phoenix campus contains over 23,000 square feet of indoor space and 27,000 square feet of outdoor play area. The theme of the center was created around the Enchanted Forest that is truly timeless and it captures the essence of the environment we have, one of wonder, imagination, comfort and warmth. The facility was designed in a way to be family and kid friendly rather than a sterile medical feel.
