Founded in 1981, Buckle My Shoe Preschool offers a Reggio Emilia-inspired early childhood program that nurtures capable, curious, and confident learners. Our play-based curriculum blends literacy, math, science, art, and daily Spanish instruction, with projects that grow from children’s own interests. Each classroom, from infant through Pre-K—is designed to support exploration and development at every stage, with thoughtful teacher guidance and hands-on learning at the core. To enrich each child’s experience, we offer a range of engaging programs including music, STEM, cooking, chess, and soccer. Our classrooms are bright, welcoming spaces filled with natural light and open-ended materials, designed to inspire creativity, collaboration, and discovery. At Buckle My Shoe, strong relationships among children, educators, and families create a warm, connected community where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.
Since the founding of our Nursery School in 1997, Jewish values, culture, and learning have been deeply integrated into the curriculum. We welcome families from all Jewish backgrounds, and ensure that all feel welcome, including interfaith families. As the school grows, we continue to foster a warm and nurturing community in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. If you’re looking for a nursery school or preschool in New York City for your child that will nurture their Judaism and provide them with a solid foundation for their education, Habonim will be the place for you. We are a little gem in a big city. Please contact us to learn more about how the Nursery School of Congregation Habonim can be the right place for your child and family!
