STEP-UP KIDS (24-35 Months)

This class is designed for our oldest students to prepare them for a separated Nursery or Pre-school Program the following year, using a slow and gentle separation process. Step-Up Kids are required to attend class 2 days per week, allowing them to adapt to a regular school schedule.

In the beginning of the Fall semester, classes will be run similar to Toddler Time, with full grown-up participation. As the semester progresses, more extensive themes and child-directed activities will be encouraged, moving towards student independence in the classroom. Adults will be encouraged to remain on the outskirts more and more, and eventually will sit outside the classroom. Please note: adults are required to attend class and remain in the building for the full school year, even after the separation process is complete.

Step-Up Kids includes special Music Time once per week, plus weekly Library Time added in the Spring.

Only students who are registered in Fall semester 2-Day Toddler or Step-Up Kids classes may register for Step-Up Kids classes in the Spring semester. Only students registered in Spring semester Step-Up Kids classes or the Greenwich Village Center Nursery School may register for Step-Up Kids classes in the Summer semester.

*Please note: Age ranges listed are for the Fall semester and age up for the Spring and Summer semesters.
