How do we stand out from other Staten Island preschools?

Choosing a preschool with a philosophy will set the foundation for your child’s first school experience. When you enter Staten Island Preschool powered by FasTracKids our philosophy is to help students discover their own abilities and potential to learn inside a classroom focused on an interactive education. At preschool powered by FasTracKids, we work closely with parents to create a specific approach to setting goals for your child. There is a plan and routine for every day. We offer a combination of play-based learning and structured activities. This allows your child to choose their activities based on their interests. During play-based activities our teachers interact and encourage the kids to play, facilitating social skills. This also helps your child learn valuable life-skills like cooperation & collaboration.

For our older preschoolers, FasTracKids Discoverers offers an academic program which is teacher-directed. In our classrooms, a teacher leads the children in a more structured curriculum, closer to a traditional classroom. Classroom time is devoted to learning letters and sounds, writing via “Handwriting Without Tears,” and distinguishing shapes and colors. We’ll also read books to stimulate conversation and comprehension on different themes each week.

Maxwell’s Story: Why My Son Knows So Much in School

Maxwell received a letter home from school yesterday basically congratulation Maxwell on finishing first level work in reading and that he would be working with a teacher going forward on second grade work. So last night I told Maxwell how proud I was of him and all his hard work. This morning Maxwell climbed in my bed to snuggle and said “Mom, do you know why I know so much at school?” I said why and he responded “It’s because I go to FasTracKids”!

Vanessa: Proud Mother of a FasTracKids Family

We sent our daughter at age 4 for the gifted and talented kindergarten prep course. I wanted to make sure our daughter was prepared to be alone with another adult and focus and answer questions. The faculty was amazing, brand new and bright. The staff was wonderful and they even had a screen to watch from the lobby what she was working on in the room. After each visit we were sent home with suggested areas to focus on. Our daughter was fortunate enough to score 99 on the exam and is now in a wonderful G&T program that she loves.

We were so impressed with this program and the teacher, Daisy, that we are now signing up our son for the 3 year old Explorer program in the Fall of 2014 as his first educational experience. I can’t speak highly enough about the staff and recommend considering them for any of their programs. [/three_fourth_last]
