Insider tips
- For parents considering Pre-K or 2s programs, expect a high-quality, nurturing, and well-organized environment that promotes significant child development.
- Take advantage of the included nutritious Red Rabbit lunches as a valuable benefit.
- If enrolling in specific enrichment classes (e.g., chess), inquire directly about curriculum progression and how trial or make-up students are integrated to ensure consistent learning.
- Be aware that resolving issues for certain enrichment classes, especially regarding curriculum and refunds, might be challenging, with management potentially resistant and applying cancellation fees.

- If you anticipate needing easy refunds or waivers of cancellation fees for dissatisfaction with specific class quality or management's handling of complaints.
- If you prefer a venue where management readily takes responsibility and apologizes for service issues.

"We have loved the 2s program — our daughter has grown and learned so much in her time at NYKC, becoming so confident and independent while being exposed to new protects and activities and experiences. She loves her teachers and all the staff and always asks to go to school even on her days off! We also loved the enrichment program options and will continue to be a NYKC family as long as we can!"
