Family Centers' Preschools Start New School Year

Family Centers Welcomes Preschoolers Back for Another School Year

 

Family Centers’ Early Care and Education (ECE) and Head Start programs kicked off the 2015-2016 school year today by welcoming almost 200 children back to its preschool sites in Greenwich. 

While there were a few teary eyes (from kids and parents alike), most of the students were excited to play, learn and meet new friends. 

Family Centers is still accepting applications for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years-old for enrollment in its Arch Street Preschool and Gateway Preschools.  Both schools are located in central Greenwich and are minutes away from I-95.  For information or to schedule a tour of Family Centers’ facilities, call 203-629-2822.

Family Centers’ Early Care and Education program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which is largely considered the gold standard for preschool programs.  Family Centers provides preschool services that are developmentally and socially rich for children between the ages of 6-weeks and five years. 

With four sites in Greenwich – the Joan Melber Warburg Early Childhood Center, Arch Street Preschool, Gateway Preschool and First Steps at Armstrong Court – Family Centers offers quality early childhood education services for the community.  For more information, visit www.familycenters.org
