Our Educational Philosophy

The Tarrytown Nursery School grounds its curriculum in a Learning Through Play philosophy.  Play is the work of childhood—the chief vehicle for the development of imagination, intelligence, language, social skills, and perceptual-motor abilities in young children.  The focus of the program is the individual growth of each child through exploration, experimentation, and first-hand experience.

Celebrating 60 Years of Caring

In the summer of 1949, eleven enterprising moms organized a playgroup on the Hackley School grounds, where they took turns watching the children once a week.  This group, the fledgling Tarrytown Nursery School, quickly grew and was son chartered by the State of New York as a non-profit, cooperative school.  As the schools membership expanded, it relocated a few more times, finally in 1971 to its current location, the undercroft of Christ Episcopal Church on West Elizabeth Street, where it continues as an independent, non-profit, and non-sectarian pre-school.  In June of 1976 the school was registered with the New York State Department of Education.
