High-Level Curriculum
At our private preschool, we pride ourselves on a curriculum that is of the highest quality and completely compliant with the New York State Learning Standards.

Everyday in our classrooms, your child will participate in science, math, literacy, music/movement, art and outdoor play.  We believe in immersing your child in the weekly theme by providing them the means to explore and question with all of their senses.

     
   

Experienced Staff
We have an experienced and well-trained staff with a low turnover rate, allowing your children to develop long-term and meaningful relationships.  Their commitment to the field of education is evident in their classroom management skills, curriculum development, creative room environments and enthusiasm for teaching.  All teachers and teacher assistants have either a degree in Education or are currently working on an educational degree or Child Development Associate Certification (CDA).  In addition, all staff are CPR and First Aid trained, and many, additonally have their MAT (Medication Administration Training) certification.

 

Founder
Our founder, Rhoda Cianco-Uszenski, is committed to the best educational methodologies for children of all ages.  She began her career working with middle and high school children.  She continued as a college professor, teaching Early Childhood Education to future teachers.

In May of 1998, she opened Little Harvard in New Windsor, NY.  This brought her base knowledge and experience to the development of young children.

Due to an increase in demand, we happily opened up our second location in Washingtonville in 2001.
