If you have not been able to secure an admission at the RIDN or are looking for more affordable options for engaging a 2-4 year old toddler, please look up Les Enfants Montessori School in Astoria (well connected by Q102 bus from the island).
Having extensively explored various pre school options in and around the island within a certain budget i am finally going to send my 3 year old to this school this fall. They have flexible schedules and payment options.
If there are a few more parents willing to register here, the school will send a private school bus to pick up the kids from the island itself. For more info look uphttp://www.lesenfantsschool.co... or contact me on nishaninan@gmail.com / 917 755 1064
