Little Stars 3K/PreK For All, offers a FREE full day program that operates for six hours and twenty minutes a day, five days per week. Currently, the GRYC has two locations; the main headquarters, located at 59-03 Summerfield Street and houses three full day classes while the second location at 776 Fairview Avenue houses three full day classes as well. All students receive free breakfast and lunch daily.
All of our teachers are certified and either have their master’s degree or are working towards it. The GRYC’s Little Stars 3K/PreK believes that children learn best when they are participating in hands-on, project-based learning activities. The staff utilizes the New York City Department of Education themed based units. All activities are aligned with The New York State Pre-Kindergarten Learning Standards and the 3K Early Learning Outcome Framework (ELOF). Our students receive a strong foundation on the road to college and career readiness! They are prepared academically and socially.
Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year will be open for children born in 2020/2021. Please visit the website: myschools.nyc for the Pre-K/3K application and additional information.
