Preschool at GSFS
Guided by our mission and Quaker values, the Preschool program for three-year-olds at GSFS centers experiential, play-based learning. Two full-time teachers lead a class of approximately 15 students, ensuring that each child is seen and known. recognizing that young children learn best through active exploration, structured routines, and meaningful social interaction. with multiple enrichment opportunities including Movement, Art, Library, and Spanish. The Preschool program operates Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM during the school year, with SummerFriends programming available separately during summer break.

All of the things that are magical about Greene Street Friends -- our loving community, our commitment to DEI and inclusion, and our thoughtful and engaging curriculum -- are hallmarks of the Preschool. Students have access to all the facilities at school, including their beautiful classroom and a dedicated outdoor play space perfect for this age group. If needed, we also offer the After School Program for those little ones who need to extend their day.
