Our FREE 3-K and Pre-K Early Childhood Programs (overseen by the NYC DOE) provide a nurturing environment where children’s natural curiosity is used as a springboard to learn skills that are necessary for success in school.  In these programs, children learn how to share, take turns, and work in groups developing their personal, social, emotional, physical, and communication skills along with mathematical and reading readiness skills through many activities throughout the day. This helps form a solid foundation for learning and prepares each child for success in the years to come.

Because it is a FREE program, all snacks and lunches are provided by the school. Monthly menus will be sent home so that you are informed of all meals and snacks provided each day. If your child is a picky eater, you may wish to provide an alternative for him/her.

Our goal is to empower your child to learn and provide a safe environment where they can be challenged.

While the 3-K and PRE-K Programs are non-religious, we share stories about Jesus at the beginning of the school day before the class formally starts.  We always want to make it clear to our parents that our school loves the Lord and its mission is to share that love with all of our students through our interactions with the students and their families.
