Preschool Of The Arts At Cooper Square

A Journey of Creative Discovery and Early Learning

Preschool of the Arts, nestled in the heart of Lower Manhattan, stands out as a unique Reggio-inspired early childhood program. Founded on the philosophy of respect, wonder, and a love for the arts, we nurture young minds through the power of play, exploration, and joyful discovery.

Inspired by Reggio Emilia and RIE

Our curriculum blends the acclaimed Reggio Emilia approach, known for its emphasis on open-ended exploration and child-centered learning, with the Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) framework, which prioritizes respectful, responsive relationships with children. This blend creates a nurturing environment where children can develop at their own pace, guided by their natural curiosities.

Empowering Creativity and Curiosity

Within our beautiful, art-filled spaces, your child will embark on a journey of exploration and discovery. We believe in:

• Empowering creativity: Encouraging children to express themselves through music, art, movement, and dramatic play.
• Act with intention for positive impact: Instilling a sense of social responsibility in young minds.
• Sharing Jewish values and traditions: Fostering an appreciation for Jewish culture through age-appropriate lessons and rituals.
• Fostering a growth mindset: Encouraging children to embrace challenges, learn from their mistakes, and bloom to their full potential.
• Cultivating a joyful and caring community: Building a supportive and inclusive environment where every child feels loved, valued, and respected.
