Program details
A play-based preschool in Purchase, NY for ages two through rising kindergarten with several daily schedule lengths and a tour-then-application enrollment process — details families can confirm before enrollment.
Age range
The center serves children from age two through rising kindergarteners, with two-year-olds in their own classes and three- through five-year-olds learning together.
Approach
Learning happens through an active, play-based model with multi-age classrooms, where teachers scaffold activities to each child's individual development rather than strictly by age, and children spend longer stretches with the same teacher.
Preschool schedule options
For ages three to five, families choose among a Morning Program (9:00am-12:00pm), Regular Day (9:00am-1:30pm), Extended Day (9:00am-3:30pm), or Full Day (9:00am-5:30pm), Monday through Friday.
Two-year-old programs
Two-year-olds can attend Teddy Bears (9:00am-11:30am) or the longer Teddy Bears Plus (9:00am-12:30pm), Monday through Friday.
Early drop-off and enrichment
An optional Early Birds program offers an 8:00am or 8:30am drop-off, and seasonal enrichment classes have included a Garden Club, mixed-media art, and backyard sports on set weekdays.
Enrollment
Families begin by scheduling a tour, then receive an email invitation to complete an enrollment application; a $3,000 non-refundable deposit is required at registration and applies directly toward tuition.
Tuition payment
After the deposit, the remaining tuition balance is divided into ten equal monthly installments across the school year.
Setting and history
Founded in 1980, the center operates from the historic Purchase Community House at 3095 Purchase Street, serving families in Purchase and surrounding communities.
Capacity
The state-licensed day care center is approved for up to 71 children, including 10 toddlers and 61 preschoolers.
Program details can change, so ask about current openings by classroom and age, exact tuition for the schedule you want, the deposit and monthly payment terms, the school calendar and start dates, early-morning and enrichment add-ons, inspection-history details, and current licensing status before making plans.
