Playgarden Prep School: Preschool, Pre-K, and Early Childhood Education in NYC since 2007

At Playgarden Prep, we foster an early love of learning through an innovative Montessori-inspired curriculum in a supportive, responsive setting. Children thrive through exploration, play, and intentional teaching with emphasis on language, literacy, and STEAM. We focus on whole child development, nurturing social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.
