Corlears School was voted 2025's Best Preschool in Manhattan in The City's Best!
Each year, readers of Schneps Media publications — including amNY, The Villager, Downtown Express, Chelsea Now, Manhattan Express, New York Family, Gay City News, and others — nominate and vote for the New York City businesses and institutions that they believe are the best in a host of categories.
"Corlears School, the 2025 Winner in the Preschool category, has built its reputation on nurturing young minds through creativity, compassion, and discovery," writes The City's Best. "With a focus on inquiry-based learning, the school inspires children to explore ideas, ask questions, and build confidence in their abilities. Teachers foster a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to express themselves."
"From hands-on activities to collaborative play, each day offers opportunities to develop both academic and social foundations. This thoughtful approach to early education ensures that students begin their educational journeys with wonder, joy, and a love for learning."
