We encourage natural curiosity and creativity in a play-based setting. We believe that preschoolers learn most naturally through play and their interaction with peers and teachers. We value the child as a whole person and seek to promote all aspects of his or her growth. At the Community Preschool of the Palisades, we strive to foster children's creativity, build their confidence, and instill a love of learning among each child.
We offer a variety of age-based classes to meet the varying needs of our preschoolers, as well as morning and afternoon enrichment and Summer Camp. For more than 30 years, the preschool has been a central part of the Palisades and neighboring communities.
