A Different Kind of Kindergarten: Joining a Community of Learners

Kindergarten, in many ways, is the beginning of a child's life-long journey of learning. At the New School, our kindergarten children have the opportunity to observe and participate in the interests of the larger learning community while having a smaller community of their own.

Kindergartners have their own opportunities for play, but are also paired with older children for games and projects. Based on a child's natural curiosity and desire to learn, the kindergarten curriculum is grounded in play, choice, and responsibility. A full-day program gives students the opportunity to participate in all the New School events.
