Get to Know Us

About Us

We are a New York City Department of Education Early Education Center. We offer a free, full-day, high-quality pre-k & 3-K programs for three and four-year-olds. We are sparking wonder and igniting learning in our children! Studies show that early instruction provides a foundation for learning socially, emotionally, and academically. We provide a nurturing and caring environment that fosters creativity and the development of skills necessary for school and learning.

Our Educational Philosophy

We believe that children learn best in an environment that allows for creativity, exploration, and interaction with others. We create an atmosphere for young children that benefit their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Our goal is to provide qualified staff and programs to keep children actively engaged, while promoting wellness, empowering parents, and active collaboration with community partners.

Our Curriculum

Beginning in the 2023–24 school year, the Department of Education launched an initiative called NYC Reads. The goal is to ensure that all New York City students become strong readers, which is the single most important skill required for educational, career, and lifetime success. NYC Reads requires all early childhood education classrooms to adopt a single, uniform curriculum called The Creative Curriculum. 

Our 3K/Pre-K Centers follow the Creative Curriculum Program. 

The Creative Curriculum for Preschool is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that features hands-on investigations as a pathway to learning.  

This curriculum designed to: 

  • harness the power of play, 

  • nurture the whole-child and individual skill progression, 

  • seamlessly connect families to their children’s learning, and 

  • support teachers every step of the way. 

Family Engagement

Meaningful family engagement in children’s early learning supports school readiness and later academic success. It is a crucial element of our high-quality early childhood program. Family Engagement Activities are planned to meet the needs of families.
