Committed To A Safe Educational Environment
The COVID19 pandemic has strengthened our resolve to provide the best preschool and kindergarten education in the safest possible atmosphere for our students as well as our staff. As you may be aware, in addition to being one of the leading preschools on Long Island, we are also one of the leading day camps. We are proud to say that we were one of the few camps that chose and were able to open for the 2020 camp season. Our diligence and preparation along with stringent guidelines from the CDC, NEW YORK STATE, and SUFFOLK COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS along with the American Camp Association, allowed us to prepare and open for our camp families. The safety protocols that were put into place allowed us to offer a program this summer that was safe, fun and allowed for children to re-enter a world where they can engage with other children safely.
Our experience this summer fills us with the confidence to open Park Shore Country Day School safely for our students and staff this September. We will be following all of the guidelines and protocols set forth by the CDC, the New York State, and Suffolk County Public Health Departments. Below is a brief overview of our plans.
