Tarrytown Nursery School

Founded in 1949, TTNS is a cooperative preschool licensed by NY state in 2017. TTNS offers 3-hour classes for 2-, 3- and 4-year olds and follows a traditional school year calendar.

Our program’s focus is on the individual growth of each child through a developmentally appropriate, child-centered approach that involves children making choices and learning through exploration, experimentation, and hands-on experiences.

Families and children of all cultures and abilities enhance our program, providing opportunities for children to learn about and appreciate differences.

Program Goals:

• To develop children's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth, while preparing for Kindergarten.
• To provide young children with a safe and meaningful first educational experience away from home.
• To help children grow in trust toward adults other than those at home.
• To help children learn to interact and negotiate with each other and to be sensitive to feelings, interests and needs of others.
• To help children develop good feelings about themselves and confidence in their abilities.
