Toddler 2’s-  Tuesdays & Thursdays 9:20am-11:20am (extends to 11:50am in January) 
A Gentle Step Toward Independence
Our Pre-2’s program is a great way for the youngest learners to ease into the school routine. Designed for children who will turn 2 between December and April of the school year, it meets twice a week and starts with a grown-up joining them in the classroom. As the fall goes on, children begin to separate and stay on their own for a 2-hour drop-off class. By the winter semester, the program extends to 2.5 hours, giving them more time to explore, play, and connect with friends. With songs, art, movement, and lots of hands-on fun, it’s a warm and welcoming first school experience.

2’s Program -3 or 5 day program 9:30am-12:30pm
Our 2’s program provides a nurturing, play-based environment where children explore, discover, and build early friendships. Through hands-on activities, stories, music, and imaginative play, children develop important social-emotional skills like sharing, self-expression, and cooperation. Teachers gently guide them as they grow in confidence and independence, laying the foundation for future learning. The children eat lunch before dismissal. 

3’s Program Monday-Friday 9:15am-1:15pm
In our 3’s program, children learn and grow through play, exploration, and connection. Early literacy, math, and science skills are introduced in fun, hands-on ways—through stories, building, art, and time outdoors. As they become more independent, children also practice important social skills like sharing, taking turns, and working together, all in a warm and supportive classroom.

Pre-K Monday-Friday 9:00am-2:00pm 
Our Pre-K and Universal Pre-K (UPK) classes offer a warm, engaging environment where children build the skills they need for a successful transition to kindergarten. Guided by the New York State Early Learning Standards, our curriculum focuses on early literacy, math, science, and social studies through hands-on, play-based learning. Children explore, create, and collaborate as they strengthen critical thinking, language, and motor skills. We are  a Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) provider for the Port Washington school district. Any child who resides in the Port Washington school district and is four years of age on or before December 1, or otherwise eligible to attend kindergarten the following year, is eligible to participate in the UPK program. If your child is eligible for UPK, they can be entered in a lottery administered by the Port school district and if selected, a portion of their tuition will be subsidized by New York State.
