Sunnyside Friends
Aug. 5, 2015 By Christian Murray
Little Friends, a preschool located on 47th Street, is opening an affiliate on 44th Street.
The new school—aptly called Sunnyside Friends—will open at 41-32 44th Street next month and will have room for two classrooms, according to Sara Stare, an employee.
The expansion comes just one year after Mayor de Blasio introduced the city’s universal pre-K program, which requires students to be at school for 6 1/2 hours per day.
Currently, Little Friends on 47th Street offers two programs—one that is 2 ½ hours per day and the other that is 5 ½ hours per day, Stare said.
With the new facility, Little Friends will offer three 6 ½-hour-day classes on 47th Street and two 6 ½ hour-day classes on 44th Street.
