Our Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten classroom is geared towards children between the ages of 3 years to 5 years old. Our Preschool and Pre-K teachers are required to have at minimum their Associate degree or Child Development Associate Credential (CDA).

We have designed and implemented a new curriculum using the The Pre-Kindergarten Early Learning Standards for NYS as our guide and resource. Our curriculum for Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten is rooted on the belief that every child is unique and capable of significant growth when provided with a supportive and enriching environment. We prioritize a play-based approach that integrates structured learning experiences with ample opportunities for exploration and discovery. Our curriculum is designed to promote social-emotional development, enhance cognitive skills, and foster a lifelong love for learning!
