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."
