Thanks to the generosity of Qool Kids, LYFE at Grand St. has a brand-new sensory wall helping our youngest learners grow through fun, hands-on play - building cognitive, motor, math & science skills & supporting our mission to nurture lifelong learners from the very start!

For the first time ever, the LYFE Program offered paid internships to our student parents! Over 5 weeks, they gained hands-on experience in music development, videography, & web development—building real-world skills that will last a lifetime.

Last Saturday LYFE kicked off our Saturday Internship Program! Selected students are diving into videography, web development, & music production over 5 sessions, learning skills for a hobby or career. It’s an amazing opportunity for our student parents! Week 2 was a blast!

Huge thanks to Principal Rodriguez & her team for making the District 2 DECE/LYFE intervisitation a success! Their dedication to creating an inclusive, engaging environment for students & staff was clear. Impressed by the vibrant learning at the French Dual Language Pre-K Center
