MSH was the perfect option for our family. Our son started at 4 months old and we couldn't be happier with the staff and care. It truly is a special place, highly recommend !!Charlotte Shron

Our son has been attending Manhattan Schoolhouse for three years now, and we absolutely love it. Most important is the nurturing loving environment the staff has created for the children. My son is excited to go to school everyday and see his friends. You can tell the teachers truly care about the children's education and put a lot of their spare time into preparing classroom activities.Marissa Rosemblum

My child attended Manhattan Schoolhouse from age 3-5 at the Chelsea location. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend them to others. My daughter had caring and attentive teachers who helped shape the early years of her life. We were sad to say goodbye and will miss our daily interactions with the staff and teachers.Fernando Rodas

My daughter attends Manhattan Schoolhouse and it has been such a heartwarming experience. It is her first time in a daycare setting so she did feel uneasy at first. However, she fell into the routine and was able to assimilate herself as part of the class. It is the best feeling in the world to be able to confidently leave your child in someone else's hands knowing full well that they will be cared for lovingly.Florence Chiu

We love Manhattan Schoolhouse! Our kids are really happy there, and the teachers are lovely! They care a lot about the kids and organize many fun activities to keep the kids engaged. They go outside at least once a day, they have a nice playground close to the School but also visit galleries and other interesting places in the neighborhood! They have a great after care program with lots of art projects. Our kids always come home with lots of stories to tell!.Julie Claeys

Our son has been attending this MSH location since early 2023 and we couldn't be happier! Everyone is so kind, dedicated and caring, from the lovely school directors to the wonderful teachers. It's a small school with few classrooms, so everyone working there knows all the kids and helps out when needed. Communication with the school is always seamless as they’re incredibly responsive! The school environment is warm, inviting, and calming.Thiciana Cruz
