Our Preschool Programs
Situated on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, we aspire to be one of the best preschools in New York City. As a private preschool, we create programs that are geared toward the growth and development of individual children throughout their time with us.
Twos Program:
Children as Physical and Emotional Beings
The wonder of school starts in the two-year-old classes. We believe that children’s experiences are directly related to how they emotionally and physically perceive their surroundings. A child who feels safe and understood will be able to take in the full array of first learning experiences. The classroom is staffed with teachers who are experts in the delightful uniqueness of two-year-olds.

Children as Social Beings
How children see themselves in relation to others is of fundamental interest to us. We pride ourselves on an awareness of individual and group needs and the complexities of what this means in both a developmental and social context. Teachers of three-year-olds are experts in helping children navigate the complex social relationships of this age.

Fours and Fives Programs:
Growing toward Independent Learning
Learning is a two-way process in which teachers present ideas and materials to children, who then bring their own prior knowledge, current abilities and interests to the learning environment. The children make collective decisions on a wide range of topics to study. Past topics have included the human brain, space, ocean life and New York City buildings. Teachers incorporate developmentally-based math, literacy, art, writing, science and social study skills within these topics to prepare children for their next learning experiences in kindergarten programs in New York City private and public schools.
