Founded in 2003, La Escuelita was one of the first Spanish dual-language preschools in New York City. La Escuelita is an independent, non-profit preschool on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, serving children ages 2-5. We offer a play-based and emergent curriculum, supported by our highly trained teachers in a language-rich environment.

Look Inside
Inside our classrooms, you will find students hard at “work.” They might be playing in the dramatic play area, digging through slime at the sensory table, making music, or building with blocks. Our passionate and dedicated teachers bring both their professional training and personal interests to facilitate these hands-on learning experiences.
