pre-kindergarten

82^nd Street Academics provides a private Pre-K program which focuses on the “whole” child. The program works on pre-math skills, pre-reading activities, art, music, gross- and fine-motor skills, and social skills to be ready for Kindergarten. We use resources from Creative Curriculum and Early Start.

Students can attend Pre-K two, three, or five days a week. Families also have the option of choosing a morning class, which runs from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM or an afternoon class from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

The Pre-K program is open to students starting at the age of two years and nine months. Tuition is affordable and paid monthly. The Pre-K program is the perfect introduction to school life for your child.

universal pre-kindergarten

The 82nd Street Academics UPK program is open to students who will turn four by December 31st of the current year. It is a FREE program sponsored by the New York City Department of Education; students are accepted without cost to the family.

The program focuses on the social skills a child will need in Kindergarten. Classroom learning time is open-ended and child-centered. Children learn by making independent choices and exploring the environment around them. In this way, they develop skills to become “life-long learners.”

The UPK program is open five days a week from Monday through Friday. Families can choose the morning class, which runs from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM or the afternoon class, which runs from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM.

Spaces in the UPK program are limited and highly competitive; registration begins in March for the school year starting the following September.
