First Week of School – Welcome to Pre-K!

Our schools are proud to provide free Pre-K for All through the NYC Department of Education. In this program, our teachers spark wonder and ignite learning in children. Pre-K for All gives children stronger math and reading skills in elementary school and a better chance at success in life. 

Over the next four weeks, our Pre-K student will be exploring all about what Pre-K is. Here are some things they will learn:

• My classroom and program are safe places where I learn, play and have fun.
• I am an important member of my classroom community; my thoughts, needs, ideas and abilities matter.
• My family, my teachers*, and other children make up my classroom community; their backgrounds, thoughts, needs, ideas and abilities matter.
• The teachers and other adults at my program keep me safe, care about me and support my learning.
• In my classroom I use materials carefully and make choices about where I work and play.
• Classroom rules and routines help me learn and stay safe. 

We look forward to getting to know all of our new students and their families. Stay tuned for what we will be learning about next month.
