Clarkson Early Childhood Center

Clarkson Early Childhood Center is an early education center that provides preschool for 4 year olds. The center is in its own building, in Canarsie.

The program has lots of activities for children to explore art, nature, music, dramatic play and more. Teachers ask children questions, invite back-and-forth conversation to develop language skills, mutual respect and promote positive social interactions. Children are encouraged to communicate and learn language skills through books, puppets or blocks. They have lots of time to talk and ask questions.

There is dedicated space for play, apart from classrooms. Both early drop-off and late pick-up are available at this program.

This school prioritizes children who live in District 18 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.
