Lyrical Children's Preschool & Music Together

"Children learn creatively as they explore and play in a creative arts based environment. As a child centered preschool/summer camp for ages 2 through 5, we are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, fun learning program for your child. Our curriculum is designed to achieve social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth. During the school year our nursery and pre-K readiness morning and afternoon classes participate in Music Together and Handwriting without Tears. Our summer camp offers six exciting weekly themes in the mornings (9:30am - 12:15pm), including Crazee Concoctions, The Royal Court, Splishin and a Splashin, Construction Zone, Mad Science Discoveries, and Sports of all Sorts. We offer flexible scheduling and a discount for those who sign up for four or more full weeks. We are also offering Handwriting without Tears Camp from July 28th - Aug 8th for those entering kindergarten. This is a revolutionary approach to handwriting that incorporates songs and many manipulatives to gain confidence in letter writing. Music Together classes are offered for newborns through six years. Class choices include Babies Only, Mixed Ages (0-5) and Big Kids (5 & 6). This is a family-style, research based, developmentally appropriate program. Also ask about Piano Kids and our birthday parties! We are members of Suffolk Child Care Council and NAEYC."

North Fork Early Learning Center

"A non-profit, state-licensed, educational program of Family Service League for preschool children ages 18 months through 5 years. Designed for flexibility for both parents and children, the North Fork Early Learning Center is open all year from 7:30am to 5:30pm with full day and half day schedules. The staff is made up of professionals committed to meeting the emotional and educational needs of each child through a developmentally appropriate curriculum and child-centered learning experience. Learning takes place in the context of a community of learners. In the classrooms and outside play yard, teachers and children work together developing positive self image, self confidence, and a sense of identity establishing a foundation for academic, emotional and social success. Planned activities are a part of each day, but children learn to take an active role in making decisions about their daily activities as they choose from a variety of activity centers. Learning also takes place through exploration. Children are encouraged to explore a variety of activities and centers, including blocks, dramatic play, circle time, music, stories, puzzles, cooking, art, clay, play dough, painting, water and sand, manipulatives, woodworking, neighborhood exploration, science, bikes, games, parachute play, climber and slide. Staff works closely with family, encouraging them to communicate about their child, participate in parent-teacher conferences, educational workshops, and help in and around the center. Parents are encouraged to observe classroom activities and participate in programs."

"The Ecumenical Nursery School is a not-for-profit nursery school with the individual child in mind. ENS was organized in 1970 for the purpose of providing pre-school education for the children of the North Fork in a setting of love and understanding. There are morning and afternoon classes for 3 & 4 year olds in both locations. ENS teachers are experienced, and class size is small with two teachers to 12 children. The environment is comfortable with plenty of room to play and a variety of games and toys inside and outside on the playground. The curriculum includes: themed lessons that make learning more meaningful; circle time; show & tell; daily 'jobs' and helping hands; arts and crafts projects; games and other fun activities. ENS also has family events, holiday celebrations throughout the year, class field trips, and snack time. Its goals are to foster the development of a positive self image; encourage positive social interaction; develop motor skills, language, cognitive skills, imagination, creativity and originality. ENS is a church based, not-for-profit organization, and tuition is as affordable as possible. Financial aid is available on a limited basis."
