Students

Daily student life varies by age, classroom, and hours of attendance. (See schedule options.) But a sample day might look like this:

• Early Birds arrive for free play
• Settle in to Choice Time; activities might include building, pretend play, sand or water play, and art
• Meet for Morning Circle, which might include songs, read-alouds, and going over the schedule for the day
• Snack time
• Head to the gym or to a specialist program such as art, music, yoga, library; or go for a walk in the neighborhood or playtime in the park 
• Engage in a long-term project, building on children’s natural curiosity to explore their world through hands on, inquiry-led learning experiences that allow them to actively construct knowledge
• Conquer the slides, run free, or explore a quiet corner with a friend in our gigantic ballroom playspace (Park Slope) or outdoor playground (Prospect Heights)
• Lunch
• Settle into naps/quiet time
• Return to Choice Time
• Go for a swim (Park Slope) or stretch our legs in the gym
• Reunite with caregivers or stay on for our extended hours program*

*Extended hours are available, 8-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. (5 on Fridays). Children may begin using the Extended Day program once September phase-in is complete.

Family 

We believe clear, open communication with families is an essential component of a successful preschool experience. This includes:

Daily Class Emails:

Teachers stay in regular contact with families through the Remini app, sharing photos, classroom updates, and daily highlights to keep parents connected to their child’s day.

Parent-Teacher Conferences:

These are scheduled twice a year, one in the fall and one in the spring, and provide an opportunity to sit down with your child’s teachers to discuss progress, interests, friendships, and goals for your child.
