We serve children ages 2-5 in half and extended day programs. We believe that children are born with a natural curiosity about the world, and that cultivating this curiosity with careful listening and support is the key to successful lifelong learning. At TriBeCa Community School, we seek to accomplish this by providing children with meaningful experiences for play and exploration, while nourishing their potential as individuals. Through the use of painting, sculpting, music, science, storytelling, theatre and other forms of self-expression, children are taught to give voice to their thoughts and ideas, as well as share their newfound discoveries and understandings.
