My Little School (My Little School: Tribeca Jewish Preschool) is a warm, community-oriented Jewish preschool in Tribeca serving children from Turning Twos through Pre-K, with parent-child classes from infancy. Founded in 2010 as a division of Chabad of Tribeca, it follows an emergent, Reggio-inspired curriculum in which Jewish values and traditions are woven throughout. Two-, three- and five-day options span half- and full-day schedules, enriched by dedicated music, gymnastics, language and occupational-therapy specialists, daily trips to Washington Market Park, and an after-school Clubhouse to 4:00 pm. Graduates go on to a wide range of leading NYC independent and select gifted Kindergartens.

Culture & Community

Educational approach

Progressive / Play Based

Emergent, Reggio-inspired early childhood curriculum in which Jewish values and traditions form the backdrop. The experiential, intentional, child-centered approach encourages exploration through words, movement, drawing, painting and play, with learning topics negotiated collaboratively between children and teachers. Emphasis on the whole child (emotional, cognitive, physical), school readiness (literacy, numeracy, reasoning), socialization, kindness, community and tzedakah.
