Preschool

The KBY pre-school provides a friendly, warm and secure atmosphere designed to meet the needs of each child and foster individual growth and creativity, within a group setting. The program integrates math, science, language arts and social studies and gives children the means to explore and draw conclusions under the guidance of licensed staff. The pre-school also provides an ongoing Jewish cultural environment in which Shabbat and holidays are celebrated through stories, music and creative arts. The KBY pre-school is licensed by the Department of Health, Division of Day Care and holds an Absolute Charter from the University of the State of New York Education Department.
