Graduates of the Roosevelt Island Day Nursery have successfully transitioned to a wide variety of school environments for kindergarten. RIDN’s Executive Director and faculty counsel families individually as they consider the best fit for their child’s continuing growth and development in academic settings. For those families considering private schools and public school Gifted & Talented programs, our administration and faculty are an especially valuable support in the application process.
