The Washington Market School
An independent preschool in Tribeca serving the community and its children since 1976
A child-centered, nurturing environment designed to spark curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning.
Educational Philosophy
We carefully blend the time-tested approaches of Maria Montessori and Reggio Emilia, making it possible for us to center our young learners.
Programs
Our programs are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of our young learners. We offer half-day and full-day sessions, as well as an extended day program.
Daily Schedule
Each day, our children engage in deep learning through group and individual work, enriching studio classes, and stimulating physical activities

“The Washington Market School has continued to exceed our expectations in fostering a safe, loving, fun and community-oriented environment for our children. We consider ourselves fortunate to be a part of such a special place!”
WMS Parent
“School admissions can be daunting in NYC, but somehow The Washington Market School felt different – thoughtful, kind and caring. The process felt more like a conversation about the best interests of our children and family rather than an evaluation.”
