Enrichment Classes for Preschoolers at Playgarden UES

Instill an early love of learning!

Playgarden Prep’s award-winning curriculum has been helping little ones grow since 2007. Children enrolled in enrichment classes at Playgarden Prep will develop a life-long love of learning!

Each enrichment class is taught by our expert teachers, with backgrounds ranging from early childhood education to theater, music, dance, and art. Our caring team of educators will help guide your little one in reaching cognitive, physical, social, and emotional milestones through classes in subjects like Music, Movement, STEM, Early Learning, and more!

Research shows that early childhood enrichment programs have a positive impact on children’s developmental skills, providing the starting points for learning. Introducing children to education at an early age is an excellent way to ensure they have a successful future!

Enrichment activities that are tailored to a child's unique interests are a great way to ignite curiosity and foster development. Introducing a wide array of activities can expand a preschooler's cognitive and creative capabilities, while giving them a much-needed boost of confidence to learn and explore new things. Additionally, providing the opportunity for an advanced student to explore and develop their intellectual capacity can bring tremendous rewards in the future.
