Ignite Your Child's Imagination with Our Exceptional NYC Preschool Programs

Available in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Manhattan.

With studies showing that about one third of children’s intellectual skills will be developed by age six, it is important to increase your young child’s exposure to a variety of experiences. Our preschool classes do just that. We also employ gradual separation techniques to prepare children for school.

Building core concepts skills at preschool age is essential.

We believe that play is essential for a child. However, learning trough play or as we call it “Learning Cleverly Disguised as Fun” will ensure your child has the tools he/she needs to be successful in the classroom.

Ages

Tots 2 – 3.5 year old classes
Explorers 2 – 3.5 year old classes
Discoverers 3 – 4 year old classes
Advanced Discoverers 4 – 5 year old classes

Frequently asked questions

How do you deal with discipline ie. hitting, biting, pushing?

A zero-tolerance policy is followed in all scenarios involving hitting or biting. Parents of both children are immediately contacted and such behavior is promptly addressed. In instances of mild aggression, the child is put on a 1-2 minute break, and the rule (ex.”no pushing”), is reiterated to the child both at the start of the break and at the end of the break. Parents will be informed any time a child is put on a break. Repeated instances may be escalated to further action.

What does "gentle separation" mean?

While all parties (teachers and parents/caregivers) must share the goal of helping the child achieve independent learning, the parent/caregiver may stay with the child for as long as necessary. The parent plays a passive role in the learning environment and interacts with the child minimally, allowing the teachers to engage the child in class activities and to begin to create a student-teacher bond with the child.

What is independent participation?

Students are expected to participate without their parents/caregivers for the full length of program.

What if my child doesn’t want to participate on any given day?

All children at FasTracKids have two choices: they may choose to participate in the activity at hand, or to watch. Both choices are positive choices

My child is not potty-trained. Do you change diapers?

No, we provide a comfortable facility so that the caregiver or parent can change the child’s diaper.

What if my child has allergies?

Adhering to a nut-free policy, FTKny.com learning centers are sensitive to the needs of children with food allergies, and takes great care in handling such situations. You will have the opportunity to specify your child’s allergies prior to the start of your child’s school year or semester.

What is your drop off/pick up procedure?

Carefully designed drop-off and pick-up procedures assure clear communication between the teachers and the parents. Students are released one-by-one at the end of the school day to the adult specified on the morning sign-in sheet.

How clean is your facility?

We take great pride in providing an exceptionally clean facility for our students. All classroom toys, gym equipment, and every surface in our facility are cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis.
