At the 14Y, play is a child’s work, and our Early Childhood programs draw on children’s inherent curiosity and sense of wonder.
We believe children are naturally competent, capable learners with a built-in ability to devise their own ideas and persist in tackling them. Our dynamic programs are carefully designed to spark joy and meet the developmental needs of children aged 0–5. Whether in the 14Y Preschool, Prelude to Preschool, or enrichment classes for infants and toddlers, we are committed to creating learning environments that celebrate the wonder of early childhood and feel like a home away from home.
We’re currently offering in-person tours for potential Preschool families.
In-person tours meet with Catherine Wenglowski, Manager of Early Childhood Admissions.
Topics of the tour will include:
- Our educational philosophy
- Our exciting programming and facilities including swimming, art, theater, movement, open air classrooms, and rooftop classroom and play area
- Our extensive health and safety measures to keep your child safe
- An opportunity to have all your questions answered
