Lindenhurst School District Opens New UPK Center
Centralized Facility Houses District's Entire Pre-K Program
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District officially opened the doors to its new, Pre-Kindergarten Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, August 28th, just in time for the 2025-2026 school year.
The ceremony, held at the repurposed Kellum Street School—now the Kellum UPK Center—marked the grand opening of this universal, centralized facility that consolidates the District’s entire pre-kindergarten program into one dedicated location. The center houses 21 classrooms for the District’s roughly 291 pre-K students, ensuring a consistent, high-quality educational experience for its youngest learners.
The event was attended by Lindenhurst School District administrators, Board of Education members, and partners from the District’s Just Kids partners.
