Walk into the International Preschool at the Enchanted Garden and you’ll know instantly why children love to learn here. We believe childhood is the perfect time to open hearts and minds to the richness of the world. Rooted in the Bank Street philosophy, our program nurtures the whole child — emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically — through hands-on learning, imaginative play, and joyful exploration of global cultures. A World of Discovery Begins Here
Learning by Doing
Children don’t just absorb facts, they construct knowledge through meaningful experiences. Whether they're cooking a traditional dish, building a market out of blocks, or reenacting a folk tale, they’re developing the skills to think deeply, express themselves, and ask big questions.
Art, Music, and Storytelling Across Cultures
Our curriculum integrates diverse traditions through stories, songs, art, crafts, dances, and cooking from around the globe. This multi-sensory approach not only fuels curiosity but helps children see themselves as part of a larger, connected world. From African drumming circles to Japanese folktales, from Latin American art to French lullabies — we bring the world into the classroom. Children build cultural awareness and empathy while developing language, creativity, and critical thinking.
A Caring, Inclusive Community
In keeping with Bank Street’s emphasis on social-emotional growth, our classrooms are welcoming spaces where children learn to listen, share, and respect different perspectives, building strong friendships and self-confidence along the way.
Educators Who Inspire Wonder
Our experienced educators guide each child’s learning journey with warmth, respect, and intentionality. They observe, listen, and tailor experiences to nurture each child’s strengths, passions, and growth.
A Fanciful Classroom Environment Like No Other
Our classrooms are vibrant, imaginative spaces designed to spark curiosity and delight, from cozy storytelling corners to hand-painted murals, puppet theaters to global discovery stations. Every corner invites children to dream, explore, and create, all while feeling completely at home.
Outdoor Nature Play & Indoor Gym
Children need space to move, grow, and explore. Our nature-rich outdoor playgrounds invite digging, climbing, building, and imagining — helping children develop coordination, confidence, and a love for the natural world. Our unique indoor gyms encourage active play even in the rain and snow.
Transitional Kindergarten: A Confident Next Step
For older preschoolers, our transitional kindergarten offers a gentle, developmentally appropriate bridge to elementary school. With a focus on social-emotional readiness, early literacy, and independent learning, children build the tools and self-assurance they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.

It has been amazing to watch Noah grow, change, and become such a special boy. You gave him the time, love, and space he needed to bloom -- and challenged him to think both creatively and critically.

The teachers encouraged Mackenzi’s natural inquisitiveness and allowed her to learn and grow in a supportive and nurturing environment. She is creative, imaginative and eager to learn and explore -- qualities that arise from The Enchanted Garden’s approach to education.
