Preschool Prep

Preschool Prep is a specialized classroom for older toddlers that just miss the cut off for the Preschool 3's academic year. Usually December, January, February birthdays, we recognize that some older toddlers that turn 3 years old shortly after the school year starts, benefit from an early preschool curriculum. NYS OCFS regulates toddlers as 18 months old up to 3 years old. This can be a significant difference in development. With age-appropriate curriculum and fun, children in this class are able to prepare early for preschool, adding more activities to challenge them beyond the younger toddlers' abilities.

Preschool 3's

Preschool 3's children are students that turn 3 years old before December 1st of that school year. This class is the next step to better prepare our students for Pre-Kindergarten. With engaging curriculum, all areas of development and academics are enhanced.

Pre-Kindergarten

Our Pre-Kindergarten classrooms are for students that turn 4 years old before December 1st of that school year and are entering Kindergarten the following year. Curriculum is designed for these students to set them up for success in kindergarten. This goes beyond simply academic success- all areas of development, life skills, and growing independence are focused on.

Junior-K

Junior-K is a new specialized classroom offered for students who benefit from more challenging and accelerated curriculum. Assessments are required for this class to ensure it is developmentally appropriate for your child.
