First Day of School Visit: The Building Blocks of Early Childhood Education

The first day of school is an exciting day for students, parents, and school staff. September 05, 2018 was the very first day of school for many of our youngest learners at PS 171Q-Peter G. Van Alst. Excitement and rejuvenation filled the halls as teachers welcomed their new classes for the 2018-2019 school year. Teachers opened their doors to reveal brightly decorated classrooms geared toward encouraging students’ love of learning from an early age. Reading nooks, homework pockets, and beautifully categorized book collections strive to pique interests in learners of all ages.
