PROGRAMS
All of our programs provide the place and the time to develop relationships, make choices and venture out into new and exciting areas. Small classes create intimate group settings perfect for exploration and discovery.

The socialization of the young child is the primary goal, to be achieved through guidance and understanding. Community School's efforts are directed toward a child’s development of self-confidence, independence and initiative. Children are encouraged to question, to solve problems, to reason and to find joy in discovery. While absorbed in creative play, the children will attain the cognitive skills appropriate to two, three and four-year-olds. Learning is enjoyable in a warm and sensitive atmosphere. The Great Neck Community School is proud of its fine tradition and is continuing to build a tradition of excellence in early childhood education for the future.

We currently offer programs for twos, threes and fours. The programs for three and four year olds are five days a week. The twos program (Twos Clues) provides flexibility in the number and choice of days. Morning and afternoon classes are available as follows:

 ENRICHMENT CLASSES
For the older children, we have a variety of after-school enrichment classes to further supplement and enhance the pre-school experience. The focus is to provide your children with the opportunity to explore new topics or to get further immersed in a current interest. Children are provided a safe, caring attentive place that is not “just more school.”
 
 BREAKFAST CLUB and LUNCH BUNCH
The Community School offers a “Breakfast Club” for early drop-off, as well as “Lunch Bunch” to give our three year olds the opportunity to enjoy lunch with their friends, as our older children do.
