School Tours

We look forward to welcoming you. All visits begin promptly at 9:15 a.m. with a tour of the facilities and a question and answer session with the Educational Director. Tours are from 9:15 a.m.-10:15 a.m. A sign up for the child playgroups will be available following the tour.


These tours are for prospective parents only. We have dedicated some tours just for our two's parents. (*Indicates Two's tour). This will allow us to spend more time on the separation process and two's curriculum. All other tours are for our three's and four's applicants.


We limit our tours to 14 people. Please call Nancy Baldaro, our Admissions Director, at (212)-734-0922 to reserve your place. All application materials must be submitted to the school before a tour is scheduled. We request both parents attend the tour. Since we do not require a follow up meeting with our Director, this is one of our opportunities to get to know your family.
