History
Since its founding in 1833, The Church of the Epiphany has been home to many educational programs for children. In 2004, we made a commitment to start an early childhood program, The Church of the Epiphany Day School, a private nursery school on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The School began as a 1 room school with 14 mixed-aged students. Over the years the school has expanded in both size and space and now welcomes 75 children each year, in a space that includes 3 classrooms, a library, a 1900 sqft gym and an outdoor play garden.
Specialties
CEDS is a magical preschool on the upper east side of Manhattan, where children and parents are supported and inspired each day. The school nurtures so many local community members with its comforting small-town feel amidst this large and sometimes isolating city. Our values lie in supporting the whole child, the whole family and the whole community. We believe all children deserve to learn and grow in an environment that emanates the warmth and compassion of home and we believe all parents are entitled to a partnership with their child's school, which emulates the partnership between family members.
