Pre-K & 3-K for All

Our Pre-K & 3-K for All Program is a quality program five days a week that is open to Y members and the community. We focus on developing children by providing a safe, nurturing environment where they are intellectually, socially, and physically stimulated while participating in enriching and fun activities.

Children will be taught by highly qualified, certified teachers. The curriculum integrates learning centers with a theme-based approach to learning encouraging children to experiment, explore and pursue their own interests.

Pre-K & 3-K for All is a partnership with the New York City Department of Education and is licensed by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
