School SummaryDistrict
as an early childhood center serving pre-K and 3K only, this program is not comparable to district k-8 or high schools that are measured on ela and math proficiency. it operates within the nyc early childhood education framework and should be evaluated against other pre-K programs rather than traditional schools.
As an early childhood center serving 3K and pre-K students, this school does not participate in state ela or math proficiency assessments. Academic programming focuses on developmentally appropriate play-based learning rather than standardized testing. The absence of performance data means parents should look to classroom observations and family feedback to gauge instructional quality.
Only one teacher completed the 2025 survey, making it impossible to draw meaningful conclusions about trust in leadership, instructional cohesion, or school safety perceptions. Attendance data for 3K and pre-K programs is tracked differently than in traditional grades, and trends are not comparable to elementary or secondary schools. Parents considering this center should connect directly with staff to understand discipline approaches and family communication practices.
