The New Amsterdam School is Growing
As we begin to grow our grade school programs we are also growing our preschool and will have more space than ever before for new families in the Fall of 2014.  With the addition of new classroom space we will expand our offerings to include two Mixed Age Kindergarten classes and two 5-Day Nursery classes while continuing to offer our Bridge, 3-Day Morning Nursery and 3 & 5-Day Afternoon Nursery classes. 


There is still time to apply for next year.  Please contact me if you would like to attend one of our upcoming events and learn more about our school.


We also have limited space in our current 3-Day Morning and 3 & 5-Day Afternoon Nursery Programs and in our Mixed Age Kindergarten Program.  If your child is between 3 and 6 years of age consider joining one of our classes this Spring!

2014-15 Robin's Nest/Extended Day Survey

This year's Robin's Nest program has met the needs of many of our families.  We conducted a survey last spring and it helped us make the decision to extend the program from 3 PM to 3:30 PM.


This year we are looking at the possibility of offering an extended day option that would allow children to stay past 3:30 PM.  We are asking all families who will be in our 2014-15 morning drop off programs to complete a brief Robin's Nest/Extended Day Survey so that we can better understand the needs of our community.


Thank you!
