The school is run out of the director’s child-safe and spacious apartment. We have a wonderful environment both inside the school as well as in the building.

Parent Testimonials:

"I am just so thrilled with this school and grateful that I found a healthy environment for my child, I can't praise them enough."

"In a hectic environment NYC parents are faced with, Melissa is probably the most reliable, helpful and calm caregiver I've ever met. My children love spending time with her because she is both happy and confident around them."

"Deb was wonderful teaching my 4 year old son the beginnings of writing and math. She knew exactly how to teach him at his level and stretch him to think about problem solving from a 4 year old's perspective. Deb is a patient, caring and attentive teacher and I always knew my son was in good hands as I dropped him off daily for preschool...exactly the kind of comfort a mother needs when leaving a "little one" to be cared for by others"
