For 30 years, BTWLC has offered after school care to children from K-8th grades. Currently, we are supporting children who have engaged in remote learning due to the threat of COVID - 19. Historically, we have offered homework help, tutoring, art, music, games and drama. We have taught through project based learning using a thematic framework.
During summer months, we find the most fu​n and innovative ways to keep children learning, exercising, developing, and being introduced to each borough of New York City. Children are also discovering the joys of cooking, dance, drama and art. They enjoy recreation and chances to perform in front of an audience. Many of our staff members have been campers themselves. The kids just keep coming back year after year.
The BTW Preschool educates children 2 to 5 years old. It offers Activities that pro​mote sensory, fine and gross motor skills, art, cooking, music & movement.
We have a toddler program and we also offer a 3-K and 4-K program that is a completely free school day program. An extended day enrichment program is also available to families.
Our school has a strong focus on Literacy, play, gardening, art, cooking, music and movement. Visit our preschool site by pressing link.
