Our Past Graduates

Children are well prepared for kindergarten when they graduate from the Nursery.  Some will read, some will print, and others will express themselves artistically or be great thinkers.  Although each child will have strengths and weaknesses, each will perform at a developmentally appropriate level.

Children are accepted into various public, gifted, and independent on-going schools in New York City, New Jersey, and around the world.  Because of our international student body, we prepare children who may continue their education outside of the United States.  Battery Park City Day Nursery is a member of The Parent’s League of New York City.  We work closely with Early Steps and the Independent School Admissions Association of Greater New York to place children into appropriate programs.  Since 1986, children have been accepted at almost every independent school in New York City.  Most recently, children have been accepted at the following schools:

• Avenues School
