Albany Preschool Programs

Albany Preschool is a two-year program for children who fall into the appropriate age requirements, are toilet trained and ready to participate in the program. We offer a Morning Program, Afternoon Program, and a Summer Program.

Our programs are run by a Morning Director, an Afternoon Director, a Head Teacher and a Teacher. All are certified in early childhood education and most of them have been teaching at the preschool for ten years or more. To see our school please schedule a tour.

Morning Program
The morning program runs from 9:00 to 12:00, five days a week. The program is run by the A.M. Director, Head Teacher, and 4 or 5 participating parents.

Parents whose children attend the morning program five days a week must participate once a week. Parents whose children attend school three days a week participate every other week.

In the morning program, children play and participate in various activities — including music, plays, games, dress ups, cooking, art projects, sand play, bikes, and stories.
