Our Camp

Ages 2-3

Hosted within the breathtaking grounds of Driftwood Day Camp, our ‘Camp within a Camp’ is specifically designed for our youngest campers. With miniaturized versions of all our favorite activities, every camper is set up to succeed!

Along with this, every age group will still get exposure to all other parts of camp! From the flying trapeze to the sports fields and beyond, each camper will have the opportunity to try everything!

Our camp groups are supervised by Teams who will be fully involved in each camper’s day. Group Leaders will communicate with you as parents throughout the summer, and several counselors in every group make a safe, well-supervised environment for your children.

What Our Families Say

Miss Sue’s School is truly in a league of their own. The care and love they provide to each student and family is unparalleled. The parent/teacher communication is ongoing while the education goes above and beyond. Students learn through a variety of modalities to help them comprehend new concepts visually, auditorily, and kinesthetically. My son went from protesting “no school” (while attending another preschool program) to saying “more school please” days after beginning Miss Sue’s. In my opinion, they are the best run preschool on Long Island and enable an impeccable experience for ALL of their students.
