The Brick Church School is a Reggio-inspired, play-based preschool for children ages two to five on the Upper East Side (Carnegie Hill), founded in 1940 within The Brick Presbyterian Church. A developmental, child-centered curriculum integrating math, literacy, science and social studies is enriched by a dedicated art studio and weekly specials in art, music, movement, Spanish and library, plus regular outdoor play. Programs range from half-day Twos and Threes to a full-day Fours/Fives class that prepares children for kindergarten. An ISAAGNY member accredited by NYSAIS, Brick offers need-based tuition assistance to 10-17% of families and sends graduates on well-prepared to a range of NYC ongoing schools.

Reggio-inspired, play-based developmental early childhood program in which children learn through play, exploration and relationships. A curriculum integrating math, literacy, science and social studies is enriched by an art studio, weekly specials (art, music, movement, Spanish, library) and outdoor play. Set within The Brick Presbyterian Church, the school aims to guide children to become happy, self-confident community members filled with curiosity and joy in learning, and prepares them well for kindergarten (e.g. Sounds in Motion, Handwriting Without Tears).
