3K for All
About Our Program
Our 3K For All program is a free, high quality early education program that is fully funded by the NYC Department of Education. Our program offers a full day schedule, five days a week from September to June. Children will receive free breakfast, lunch and snack.
Curriculum
Our program is designed to support children in the way they learn and develop most effectively. Children will learn with each other through play. This helps support their social and emotional development, language and literacy, cognitive and physical development. Our 3K program’s instruction is aligned to the NY Prekindergarten Early Learning Standards, which is called Explorations.
