The preschool years are a crucial window in a child's academic, social, and cultural development. In the few years spent at The International Preschools, a child will develop not only academic skills but also social skills and cultural attitudes.
At The International Preschools, where English language learners are welcomed and supported, children and families from New York City and all over the world share their cultures and gain a sense of international awareness through mutual understanding and respect.Through play, we promote the cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth of each child in a nurturing atmosphere.

The International Preschools has two Manhattan campuses. Each of the school locations has its own character and personality, determined in part by the different neighborhoods and buildings. All facilities were selected and designed to meet the special needs of young children, particularly their health and safety.
Children are born with natural impulses to explore; play-based learning allows children to learn naturally. They understand their world best through hands-on, sensory-based experiences that allow them to actively participate, get messy, and make meaning of both the familiar and the new. Group play leads to social interactions, providing opportunities to build social-emotional competence.
The International Preschools offers a comprehensive Specialty Program that broadens the scope of our curriculum while complementing the play-based classroom experience that defines the school. The multidisciplinary program is designed to enhance our students' cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and creative development.
