Garden House School of New York is a private, coeducational preschool serving children from Young 2s through Kindergarten (ages 2–6), with its East 63rd Street campus housed in a purpose-designed three-floor Upper East Side mansion.

Enrichment includes Art, Ballet, French and Music. An ISAAGNY member, Garden House admits on a fall-through-December 1 cycle with 2026–2027 tuition ranging from about $14,100 for a 2-day Young 2s program to $45,900 for full-day Seniors and Kindergarten.
