East Harlem CHS Bilingual Head Start Program

East Harlem CHS Bilingual Head Start Program is an early education center that provides preschool for 3 and 4 year olds. The center is in its own building, in East Harlem.

Teachers ask children questions, invite back-and-forth conversation to develop language skills, mutual respect and promote positive social interactions. There is a dual-language program available in Spanish, which is a program that has instruction in both English and the target language, and is designed to make children fluent in both, but may require a separate application process. Some seats in this program may be reserved for children who speak Spanish, but English speaking children are welcome to apply.

There is outdoor space for children to play and get fresh air, as well as dedicated indoor play space apart from the classroom.

This school prioritizes children who live in District 4 but anyone is welcome to apply. To see if your address is in the district for this program please use our school search. For more information about 3-K and Pre-K enrollment and advice on how to find a program, please visit our Pre-K page.

If you are a parent or staff member, please tell us more about the school in our Comments Section.
