Nestled in the heart of the East Village, New Amsterdam School offers a nature-based Waldorf education tailored for children aged 10 months to 6 years old. The school's inclusive community is passionately committed to nurturing holistic development, fostering creativity, and promoting hands-on learning. The primary goal is to spark imagination, cultivate emotional intelligence, and enhance physical well-being through a contemporary Waldorf education approach, emphasizing profound respect for nature, oneself, and others.

In the Early Childhood program, children embark on a journey of self-directed play, music, baking, painting, and exploration of nature. These experiences are crafted to develop essential motor skills, social competence, and self-awareness, laying a solid foundation for future success.

The school provides complimentary bi-monthly playgroups, enriching educational experiences, and an after-school program. What sets New Amsterdam School apart is its special collaboration with El Jardin Paradiso Garden, where they operate an outdoor kindergarten. Students regularly visit and actively engage with this stunning natural space, enriching their connection with the environment.
