Since September 2023, we have proudly offered a special Preparation for School program for children ages 5 to 6 who would benefit from an additional year of growth and development before entering elementary school.
Designed to help children build confidence and school readiness, this program follows the state’s Early Learning Standards while providing a nurturing and supportive environment. Children strengthen their English language and literacy skills through conversation, storytelling, phonological awareness activities, and an introduction to beloved children’s classics. At the same time, they continue developing their Russian language skills, allowing them to maintain and celebrate their bilingual abilities.
Our native and near-native English-speaking teachers help children expand their vocabulary, improve communication skills, and gain the confidence needed for a smooth transition to public or private school.
The program also includes mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, yoga, theater, and fine arts, offering a well-rounded educational experience that nurtures both academic and personal growth.
With our small class sizes, each child receives individualized attention and encouragement, helping them develop independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning while reaching their fullest potential..


For this group we offer language and literacy in both Russian and English. We include a special English conversation/story book reading class taught by a native speaker.
This will help prepare those children lacking English language to attain a healthy introduction to English which will help make their transition from daycare to school less traumatic.
Mathematics, social studies, science, physical education (including yoga), theater and fine arts will also be an integral part of the curriculum. The classes are small and a great deal more attention can be given to each child in order to help them achieve their highest potential.
