The Washington Market School
An independent preschool in Tribeca, leading the way in early childhood education since 1976.
Our dedicated educators nurture children’s compassion, confidence, and curiosity in our NYC preschool.
Educational Philosophy
We thoughtfully combine the time-tested approaches of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, creating a child-centered foundation where young learners can explore, imagine, and grow.
Programs
Our programs are designed to meet the needs of young children. Families can choose Half Day or Full Day programs, including flexible Extended Day options.
Daily Schedule
Each day, children engage in hands-on learning through group and individual activities, creative studio classes, and stimulating physical play, fostering curiosity and joy.
Admissions
Your child is unique.
So is our process.

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.”
