Our Insights

Ezra Jack Keats Pre-K Center at 153-36 89th Ave is a district Pre-K center run by the Department of Education that provides preschool for 4 year olds. The center is in its own building, in Jamaica.

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. There is a dual-language program available in Bengali, 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 Bengali, but English speaking children are welcome to apply.

There is dedicated space for play, apart from classrooms.

This school prioritizes children who live in District 28 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.
