We welcome your interest in Léman Manhattan Preparatory School's PreK 3 and PreK 4 program. The Center for Early Childhood Education at Léman is housed on two newly-renovated, dedicated floors of our Broad Street Campus. Through our play-based program and hands-on learning experiences, children ignite their curiosity and build a sense of belonging during the most influential time in their development. In addition to the STEAM WonderLab, library and swim, our students receive Spanish or Mandarin instruction from native speakers four times a week.
Applicants must be 3 or 4 years old by September 1 of the school year for which they are applying. The application for 2022-2023 is now open. There are still limited spots open for 2021-2022. Please contact the admissions team to apply.

In an effort to get to know your child better, we encourage you to send a video of them taking part is something they love such as singing a favorite song, telling a story, or showing us original artwork – anything that you would like to share which will show us what kind of community member they will be. Your video should be up to 90 seconds in length.
