Nursery Room

The Nursery Room is our 3s room. Set in the parlor level of our Upper West Side brownstone, the room is charmingly divided into two spaces: our mini-studio and our main classroom. Equipped with a loft, the classroom boasts a large, open space for the children to play throughout the day. In the Nursery Room, the children learn more about being part of a community as they develop their interpersonal skills and collaborative play skills.
