The Williamsburg Northside Preschool (WNP), currently located at 152 North 5th Street, is a privately owned and operated school currently providing preschool programming for children 2 to 4 years. Applications for enrollment are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Please see the downloads tab above for schedule and tuition information (which can be found on the Preschool Application).
The school day for preschoolers begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:00 pm. Familes who need a longer school day will also have the option of enrolling their children in an afterschool program two to four days per week.
Families have several schedule options to choose from. We offer part-time (2 or 3 days per week) and full-time (5 days per week) schedules. Our school year begins in September and ends in June with optional summer programming.
Williamsburg Northside's programs are licensed by the NY State Department of Health. Additionally, WNP currently has an ongoing contract with the NY State Department of Education, which allows us to offer Universal Pre-Kindergarten programs to qualifying 4 year olds and a formal inclusion program for both 3 and 4 year olds.

Teachers who will care for your children and provide them with a safe learning environment

Small groups in bright, spacious classrooms

Indoor and outdoor play spaces

The classroom experience incorporates joyful approaches to learning through play-based activities. The teacher provides opportunities for both teacher-facilitated and child directed activities. These activities are multi-sensory and involve exploring and discovering one’s world by touching, hearing, tasting, seeing, moving, taking things apart, putting them back together and being in, amongst and deeply involved in each learning experience.
