Preschool
We believe the early years provide the best opportunity to cultivate an enduring love of learning.
To that end, our youngest students are immersed in a nurturing environment, which integrates learning with play. Our teachers, pedagogy, and small class sizes combine to equip students with impressive linguistic and numeracy comprehension.
Students learn French starting in Preschool, using the language approach of immersion and repetition that taught them their mother tongue. Shorter learning periods—interspersed with periods of music, physical playtime, learning centers, and outdoor exploration—allow our students to flourish intellectually and emotionally. Our Preschool gives students an extraordinary preparation for Kindergarten and beyond.
We offer two Preschool locations: East Side Preschool at 593 Park Avenue and West Side Preschool at 123 West 57th Street and the following classes:
