1,000-Book Kid Program
To give students a head start in learning -- while making it fun and easy -- all Niskayuna elementary schools offer the 1,000-Book Kid Program. (Please note: this program is geared toward 4-year-olds.)

Through the program, parents borrow a book bag filled with 10 fun, age-appropriate books to read to their preschoolers. When families are finished with the books, they return them to the school and can receive another bag of books.

For more information about this free program, contact the coordinator in your child's future school:
