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. 

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.

After School Program for PreSchool

For the first half of the school year, PreSchool students participate in after-school activities and programming within their classroom and designated outdoor areas. During the second half of the school year, PreSchool students transition to the larger After School Program in the Armat Building, where they join the Pre-K and Kindergarten students for expanded opportunities for socialization, enrichment, and community building. Throughout the year, PreSchool students also have the opportunity to participate in developmentally appropriate enrichment clubs and activities.
