Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK)

Participating school districts offer eligible 4 year olds the opportunity to attend our Pre-K program utilizing The Creative Curriculum, which follows developmentally appropriate practices and is aligned with NYS Learning Standards. Classes focus on meeting kindergarten readiness goals in an environment promoting exploration, social skill development and confidence building through positive learning experiences. Children are placed in both integrated and non-integrated classes with NYS certified teachers. Morning or afternoon sessions are M-F and follow the school calendar.

 

Nursery/Preschool

A stimulating early childhood program for children ages 3 and 4 following The Creative Curriculum. Children are offered small group exploration time in learning centers as well as whole group instruction led by NYS certified teachers. Classes follow an integrated model allowing both typically developing and special needs children the opportunity to learn with and from each other. Students in our integrated classes are team taught by a Special Educator, an Early Childhood Teacher, and are assisted by certified Teacher Assistants.

Classes run from September through June, with a six week summer program also available.

We offer 2, 3, and 5 days per week programs.

Children can attend full day or half day sessions.
