Entering preschool marks a major milestone for any child. High-quality early childhood education in the first five years of life is critically important for brain development, socialization, and setting the stage for school readiness and positive long-term outcomes.

Many children begin their early childhood education at the age of three in preschool – a time that is exciting for both parents and children. For parents, it may mean a bit of freedom and more time to focus on work or other responsibilities. For children, it's a chance to learn new things, gain independence, and make friends for years to come.

Launched as part of FASP’s commitment to forward thinking, bilingual education, Food for Thought is rooted in a timely and essential theme: sustainability. Over the course of the academic year, students rotated through four immersive workshops - Art, Film, Gardening/STEM, and Cooking - each exploring the deep connections between food, health, culture, and the environment. The program culminated in a student-produced film that showcased their learning and collaborative achievements!

As graduates reminisce about their time in middle school, many credit their alma mater for laying a solid foundation for success in high school.

We caught up with several FASP alumni (Christian Hinrichs and Hannah Ploss of Princeton High School as well as Vanessa Kudelya and Gabriel Mikhno of West Windsor Plainsboro High School South) who shared their insights on how their middle school experience at FASP paved the way for a smooth transition to the challenges of high school.
