Located in the heart of Manhattan, Elements Preschool provides a unique urban nature experience for children aged 1 to 5 years old. Every morning, amidst the bustling streets of New York's Lower East Side, children find their way to this hidden oasis, where open-air outdoor classrooms await.

Founded in 2015 with a mission to reconnect children with nature, Elements offers DOE Pre-K funded classrooms for 3 and 4-year-olds, ensuring accessibility to nature education within the community. The preschool prioritizes authentic, child-driven play, fostering a sense of wonder and joy through intentional environments enriched with loose parts and plants.

With a focus on social equity, diversity, and inclusion, Elements Preschool guides children in developing problem-solving skills and nurturing relationships with themselves, others, and the natural world. Their emergent curriculum philosophy encourages collaboration, curiosity, and a spirited learning community, making it a nurturing space for young explorers to play, learn, and grow.
