Please join us for an open house hosted by Sarah Duer, Hollingworth Preschool Director. As interested families come together, Sarah will share the mission and distinctive hallmarks of our early childhood program.

As an early childhood center we make an unwavering commitment to support our families as they seek ongoing schools for their children. We begin meeting with parents the spring before the start of the Kindergarten process. In addition to group meetings, we offer ongoing individual support to each of our families throughout the process as they explore and pursue options for their child's ongoing education. This partnership with parents is guided by the shared goal of ensuring each a robust match for each child. To this essential work Hollingworth brings over 35 years of expertise. Hollingworth Preschool children are happily situated in a range of schools including: a variety of independent schools such as co-ed, all-girls schools, and all-boys schools; and progressive and traditional schools. Public school matriculations include G&T citywide and district programs, Hunter, and neighborhood schools throughout New York.
For public schools, our children have attended neighborhood zoned schools, Special Music School, district and city-wide G&T programs such as Lower Lab, NEST+m, and Anderson; and Hunter College Elementary School.
Hollingworth children have attended independent schools including Avenues: The Allen-Stevenson School, Bank Street School for Children, Beit Rabban Day School, The Brearley School, The Browning School, Calhoun School, The Cathedral School, The Chapin School, City and Country School, Collegiate School, Convent of the Sacred Heart School, The Dalton School, Ethical Culture-Fieldston School, The Heschel School, The Horace Mann School, IDEAL School, Manhattan Country School, Marymount School, The Nightingale-Bamford School, Packer Collegiate Institute, Poly Prep Country Day School, Ramaz School, Riverdale Country School, Rodeph Sholom School, Saint Ann’s School, Saint Ignatius Loyola, The School at Columbia University, The Spence School, The Speyer Legacy School, St. Bernard’s School, St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s School, Trevor Day School, and Trinity School.
