SPECIAL PROGRAMS

For the 2’s, 3’s and 4’s classes, we bring the fun and learning to the classroom. We have visits from Mad Science of Westchester, Greenburgh Nature Center, Weinberg Nature Center, Gym on Wheels Programs and Yoga Instructors. These programs offer a variety of topics such as, making Apple Cider, Native Americans, The Five Senses, dinosaurs, various animals, and sea life. The Scarsdale Fire Department conducts visits with one of their trucks to teach the children about fire safety. We also get a yearly visit from a local pediatric dentist who teaches the children about the importance of proper hygiene. 

The 4’s classes go on several field trips throughout the year (parent chaperones are always invited). We visit the Scarsdale Firehouse, where firefighters teach the students safety procedures in the event of a fire (‘stop, drop and roll’) and the children have the chance to slide down the fire pole. During another trip, classes go to Greenburgh Nature Center, where the children observe how maple trees are tapped for syrup and the whole process that occurs before the syrup is ready for their pancakes.
