BRIDGE PROGRAM

2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR 
 

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, 2025 through February 28th, 2026.

The first half of the school year, children will attend the program Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15-11:15am with a caregiver. Come February, the class will extend 9:15-12:00 PM.

*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 years old.

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 classroom community and a foundation for lifelong learning.

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