Bridge Program

The Bridge Program is a partner program between the Sutton Place Family Center and Kaplan Nursery School. Designed for children who do not meet the cut-off for the Two’s at KNS, the program is for children turning two from October 1, 2024 through March 15, 2025.

The first half of the school year, children will attend the program twice a week (T/TH) for 90 minutes (9:30-11:00am) with a caregiver. Come February, the class will extend to 2 hours (9:15-11:15am).

*Children are expected to be accompanied by a parent/caregiver from September - December. Starting in January, children can begin to separate from their caregivers based on readiness. Please note, an adult must remain in the building until a child turns 2's.

The Bridge Program will follow the Nursery School calendar. There will be no make-ups for missed classes. 

The program will be led by experienced teachers and will include: activity time, snack, circle, and gross motor play on our rooftop playground. The Jewish holidays will be explored throughout the year. Children will engage in parallel play, building a foundation for how to be part of a group setting.

Please note, all children will need to have an adult in the building until they turn 2.

*All COVID-19 policies will be followed by the school and families. An updated medical, with required vaccinations, is required for enrollment. 

Tuition for the 2024-2025 year: 

$11,000 plus a $400 security fee (Includes SPS membership)
