Pre-School Programs
Free Tuition for 4-year-olds

Nursery for 3-year-olds and UPK for 4-year-olds, as well as a Kindergarten for 5-year-olds, offer a rich variety of academic work and structured play times.

Children in the Pre-School are able to read on a first grade level and do some elementary mathematics by the time they graduate from Kindergarten. In addition to the 3 R's, computer aided education, elementary Spanish instruction and music are offered on a regular basis. Field trips, and a Christmas program are but a few of the special events which enrich the experiences of the children.

Academic subjects are taught each morning from 8:30-11:30. Afternoons include a nap time and a story time up to 3:00. From 3-6 in the afternoon there is a structured recreational time. Children may be picked up by their parents at any time during this after-school session.

For those that need it, early care is available at 7:30 a.m. at a small extra charge. Otherwise, children may be dropped off after 8:00 for the school day.

A variety of programs for Nursery school are available: Five day, three day and two day per week programs may be attended mornings until 11:30, all day until 3:00, and full day until 6:00.

Our classrooms are limited to 20 children, and are serviced by a full-time teacher and an aide. Because space is limited, it is offered on a first-come-first served basis, and a waiting list is maintained after the rooms fill up.

If transportation is a problem, parents may contract directly with a private bus company which services Our Saviour and offers door-to-door service to many neighborhoods in North-Central Queens.

Especially for parents of pre-school children, it is comforting to know that their 3-5 year-olds will be loved and cared for by a staff of dedicated professionals. Our Saviour has been in the community ministering to children for nearly sixty years.
