Pre-K Program

The GRYC Little Stars Pre-K Program

 The GRYC Little Stars Pre-K program services 4-year old children by providing NYS mandated Universal Pre-Kindergarten. Currently, we have six classrooms servicing 180 children for a total of 10 UPK classes. The sessions are 8:15-10:45 and 11:45-2:15.  We have three classes housed at St. Pancras two in the morning and one during the afternoon.

We teach children according to developmentally appropriate practices as mandated by the NYC Department of Education Pre-School Performance Standards.  We focus on promoting the development of the children cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially.  Literacy is a part of our learning environment.   Multi Lingual children come together and learn English through play and social interaction.  We lay the foundation for all of their future learning.

Our program is FREE to parents due to our funding, which comes from New York State, through the NYC Dept. of Education.   

During the summer months we continue the learning process at our Summer Learning Experiences Day camp, offered to children between the ages of 4-6.  We provide a safe, fun, summer experience, where children can participate in trips, arts and crafts, outdoor and indoor games, and interact with their peers.  Many parents use this as an opportunity to prepare their child for school!
