Our Programs - Kiddie Junction | UPK and Preschool in Levittown

Preschool

2's

Our 2's program is a gentle introduction to preschool. Classes meet 2 or 3 days per week from September-June. In September, parents are welcome to stay with their child and work on separation slowly.

The focus of the 2's program is teaching children to manage classroom routines, and share space/toys, and adult attention. Activities are developmentally appropriate for the shortened attention span of 2-year-olds.

Themes such as "Me & My Family", "Animals", "Seasons" and "Holidays" teach children about the world they live in. The introduction of colors, shapes, music, dramatic play, circle time, playground and art activities challenge the minds of curious 2's.

3's

Our 3's program provides the opportunity for students to grow both socially and academically in a warm and caring classroom environment. Classes meet from 2-5 days per week, half day and full day options are available.

For many 3 year-olds, this is their first experience being away from a familiar adult and being part of a group independently. Children come to Kiddie Junction with unique personalities, varying levels of development and different life experiences. We recognize that each child is an individual, and tailor interactions to meet developmental needs.

3's learn through a multi-sensory hands on approach, and enjoy practicing new skills independently during center time. Themes focus on learning about the world around them and help students feel more self-confident in their new role as a member of our classroom community. Self-help skills are introduced alongside Language and Math concepts.

This year’s activities include: a Star Student Week for each student, holiday parties and sing-a-longs, a field trip to Long Island Children’s Museum, a Bring Your Grown Up to School Day, Scholastic Book Fair, and our end of year picnic.

4's

Our Levittown contracted UPK program utilizes the same curriculum as our private 4's program- Big Day for PreK. The UPK lottery determines entrance into the district program which runs 5 full days. Our private program offers families the option of 5 half or full days. Pre-K students who enroll in a full day program engage in half a day of private preschool and half a day of STEAM class.

The curriculum is very comprehensive, focusing on each area of development: Social/Emotional, Cognitive, Language, Math, Science, Social Studies and Gross/Fine Motor. Students meet for whole group mini-lessons on topics throughout the class as well as child-directed center time and gross motor time. Small group and individualized instruction takes place during center time to reinforce topics or provide enrichment.

4's enjoy many of the same celebrations as the 3's classes as well as an off-site end of year graduation ceremony.
