This is a half-day program funded by the New York City Department of Education and the United States Government, which provides children with center-ba sed ac tivities in science, math, social studies and l anguage arts. The hours are 8:30–11 a.m. daily. St . Clare’s also provides the wraparound program, at a discounted cost, which allows parents to enroll s tudents in a f ull day pre-kindergarten.
