What our families say about 14Y Preschool!

Building Confidence and Independence

Our son just had his first day of school and came home shouting, ‘I love Kindergarten!’ with the biggest smile on his face. We couldn’t be more thrilled for him. THANK YOU for all your care and patience in your work with him in the 14Y Preschool. It really showed today how prepared he was to take on Kindergarten with confidence and joy!

–14Y Preschool Alumni

A School to Return To

Rest assured we’ll be back! In fact, I’m looking to see what it will take to extend 14Y through 12th grade!

—14Y Preschool Family

Magical Classrooms

You and your teaching team have been instrumental in the girls’ development, sense of self and the joy factor. You have inspired them to create, wonder and make connections. We deeply value each of you and the magical classrooms you created.

—Preschool Family

Warm and Welcoming

Dear Catherine and the 14Y Early Childhood Team,
We very much enjoyed meeting you as well. Your warmth and welcome was a powerful reminder of what we have always loved about the 14Y’s programs for Alex. He still chooses to wear the New Town Day Camp t-shirts regularly!

—14Y Family

Become Part of a Community

Our family has deeply valued being part of the 14Y community. You all have created a magical place for our girls and an inclusive space as a family. We look forward to having both girls in camp this summer and to continue their journey with you all next year.
