The research was to understand Universal Pre-K teacher’s experience, views and beliefs about school readiness in the context of UPK. A contradictory picture was discovered from this study: teacher’s inside-building status vs. outsider status; teacher’s autonomy vs. external requirements; teacher’s belief vs. treatment; teacher’s expectation vs. reality. The current study would help other UPK teachers, school teachers, educators, parents, schools, districts, government and policy makers to better understand UPK teachers’ experience, the struggles, and their work in fostering children’s readiness for school
