Event Highlight
The 7th Annual Downtown Preschool Fair was a big hit this year with over 150 parents in attendance! Parents had the opportunity to meet the owners and heads of schools from the best downtown preschools and collect important school information. The free annual event was presented by the BPC Neighbors' Association and the BPC Parks Conservancy. It was held on January 27, 2009 at Stuyvesant High School.
