Overview:

Barnard places a strong emphasis on language development with a unique focus on cognitive and social development of each child. Students engage in learning activities aligned to the New York State Preschool Common Core Standards and District-Wide learning outcomes in a safe and nurturing environment. Concepts about print, Mathematics, Sciences, and Technology are integrated into creative instruction. Children have many opportunities to develop their multiple intelligences and competencies in all subject areas. 

Pre-Kindergarten at Barnard is offered via two pathways:
