Corlears is a small school, but our community has a big heart — and many ways to get involved.

Every dollar has a lasting impact — not just on  students attending Corlears today, but on all children who come through our doors.

There are a variety of opportunities available for current and alumni community members to get involved by volunteering their time. 

THE ROAD TO OUR FIRST ENDOWMENT

The Tuition Equity Fund (TEF) will serve as the foundation for Corlears School’s first-ever endowment. Corlears has committed significant resources to become the leading school for young children driven by diversity and equity. 

Through the Tuition Equity Fund, we strive to cultivate inclusion and belonging for all community members for generations to come. Your support of the TEF brings to life our vision of a vibrant and connected community like no other in New York City.

Program Overview

A complete overview of our academic and auxiliary programs serving toddlers through PreK, and a snapshot of our progressive approach to education.
A joyful start for children — a community for families
 
At Corlears, we believe the earliest years matter most. Corlears focuses on serving our youngest learners — Toddlers, Nursery, and PreK — within a warm, values-driven Early Learning Center. We combine decades of early childhood expertise with modern-day flexibility, offering full-day and year-round care to support families as much as children.

Optional Wraparound Care Program

For families who need full-day care, extended days are available for registration on a month-by-month basis, as an optional add-on. Children who stay for extended day will be cared for our by childcare team from 11:30–3:00 or from 11:30–6:00. This team supervises lunch, nap, and free play in the afternoon. 
 
A summer program for June-August is also available for all ages.
