Perry School

My five and a half year old son Walt went to the Perry School's summer program (called NYC Kids Camp) all summer and absolutely loved it! The staff is wonderful....involved, attentive and loads of fun. The facilities are spotlessly clean. Housed in Richard Meier's Westbeth housing complex on Bank Street, the camp is surrounded by artists and galleries and cool architecture. Their weeks are full of fun activities and great field trips. One week the kids took a ride on The Beast, the big high speed powerboat that cruises up and down the Hudson. The next week they went to a Yankee game. They go swimming all the time, they go to parks, they go on the Highline. They also researched Leonardo daVinci and worked on a whole bunch of art projects. They go to the library, they get swim lessons at the YMCA......every day is something new and fun. Walt has already pleaded with me to sign him up for next summer! I can't recommend this camp enough (and the Perry Street School).

Perry School is an excellent top notch school for early childhood development. I highly recommend it.

I heard people say bad things about the place and the owner, but I live nearby so I wanted to give it a chance.
It was bad! bad enough to add another bad review. At least the families we met were nice - I love the West Village !

Perry School has everything I wanted in a school for my daughters. The curriculum is fun, the staff is engaged, the kids love going there, and the space is fabulous. If you're looking for a friendly, engaging environment for your little one, definitely give Perry School a try.
