The Corner School Nursery & Pre-Kindergarten

My child has been attending The Corner School since September and it has been nothing but a wonderful experience for both him and I. From our first visit we were met with nothing but warmth from the teachers and staff. The building is so cozy and feels like the perfect size for pre-​school and pre-​k children. His classroom is full of creative learning stations where he can explore and learn in a safe, nurturing environment. The fact that most of the teachers have been there several years or more is very comforting and I find the traditional method of teaching very refreshing! Since my son has started to attend I see a wonderful growth in his imagination, sharing skills and basic fundamentals. He loves the outdoor area and the time he spent in the garden with his teachers and classmates inspired him to ask for his own garden in our yard at home. I looked at several other schools but none gave me the feeling of a «family community» which is exactly what I was looking for. I love that parents are encouraged to come in and share a story, snack, music, craft, etc. with the children. I’m thankful we found this wonderful school early so he can grow and flourish here for the next 2 years!

My 4.5 year old is currently attending the corner school. After receiving the letter informing me that she is qualified to enter a gifted program for the 2015 – 2016 school year, I felt compelled to write this review.
I love this little tiny school. The attention that my daughter has gotten from her teachers has been incredible. Mrs Loria and Mrs Koenig are so gentle and nurturing with the children that they’ve set the standard for what we are looking for moving forward. My husband and I both have mentioned how we wish they at least went on to 3^rd grade! I cannot rave enough about this place. My favorite quality is the way that they have made very clear to us how they implement the common core into their everyday teaching. I truly am so happy that this school has provided my family with a wonderful first school experience. Thank you corner school for teaching our daughter in the manner that you have and for giving us a great example of what a school should look like!

Warm, nurturing, caring, fun and educational. These are the words that come to mind when I think of The Corner school. It is a wonderful environment for young children. The staff treats every child and family like a part of their own family. Most of the staff has been here for years and it is easy to see why. They love what they do and it is evident in the way they nurture the small minds in their care. My daughter attended this nursery from age 2.5 until she was almost 5 yrs old. She attended full time with extended hours and went to their summer camp as well. She adored her school and her teachers. She never wanted to leave. She cried when she became too old to continue going. As a working mother, I was relieved and thankful that I had found such a wonderful place for my daughter. The children learn through play, art and music. There is no tv or computer so that the children can do what they do best. Be children. They play, laugh, sing, draw and let their creativity run wild. My daughter benefitted so much from this school that she was accepted into the NYC gifted and talented program for public schools the following year. This is a school where your child will thrive and will look back upon it fondly in the years to come.
