"A Unique Year for the Preschool"
by Allison O'Melia, Director, St. Bartholomew Preschool
I have always been a bit of an optimist, a we’ve-got-this kind of person. Working with young children for over thirty years, I have a pretty keen sense of what works for children and what doesn't. Remote learning for preschool children, or preschool teachers for that matter…is not optimal learning by any stretch of reality. Young children learn through play with one another and especially by hands on experiences. So, I knew that after more than two months of learning remotely last Spring, the Preschool needed to figure out a way to return to the building safely.

Spring has come to New York City and the COVID infection rates in the City are declining. Thanks be to God! We have resumed in-person worship at St. Bart’s on Sundays at 5 pm and we will resume our regular schedule over time. In-person worship at 9 am will begin on Sunday, June 6. It is still important to reserve a seat. We will continue to ask all attendees to remain masked through the service and to maintain appropriate social distancing. We will make the use of masks optional when we are advised to do so by the diocese, the city, the state, and by our own medical advisors. We joyfully welcome you back! Learn more and register here.
