The Mandell School for Toddlers and Pre-Nursery provides children, two years of age, with an educational environment that is designed to nurture their physical and developmental needs. As such, Mandell's Toddler and Pre-Nursery programs offer an enjoyable and stimulating environment that functions as a gentle transition from home to school. During our separation process, we encourage parents to allow their child independence when they are ready. Through the year we work on a one-on-one basis to guide parents through toilet training, limit-setting and other early childhood issues that may arise.

Our curriculum focuses on monthly themes with related activities such as art projects, songs and special events. In addition, our 95th street facility includes an indoor gym space which the children use for gross motor play, structured movement and assessment. Our goal is to provide a well rounded experiential environment for your child that enriches their emotional, physical and intellectual development.
