"Experience is a moving force when it arouses curiosity, strengthens initiative and sets up desires and purposes."

- John Dewey

Purple Circle is a well-established and diverse program for early childhood education on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

We are a thirty five year old parent-cooperative that values every family's active participation and community membership.

At Purple Circle, we provide children with opportunities for direct experience with materials and the environment. Our teachers make room to support children's strengths and a variety of children's interests.

Space and time for ongoing discussions, inquiry and negotiations are given to young children throughout the day.

Purple Circle's teachers are nurturing, warm, and highly experienced. Our ratio of teachers to children is outstanding, and our facilities are a real workshop for children's play and active imagination.

Purple Circle's small size; approximately 60 families, allows us to provide an environment that is both intimate and engaging for young children ages two through six years old. We are open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., five days a week, year round. Purple Circle is non-sectarian and does not discriminate.
