Just off the lobby is our Parents Room/Library, which holds 10,000 books and is used as a children’s library and a meeting room for parents, faculty, and staff.

Classrooms

Thanks to a top-to-bottom “green” renovation of all our classrooms and our kitchen, our classrooms are not only bright and spacious but also environmentally and ergonomically sound, with bamboo cabinets, non-glare lighting designed to promote concentration, and floor and work surfaces made of sustainable, non-toxic materials.

Children playing in the gym

Gym

In 2015, we transformed our already exceptional gym for children into a multi-purpose space that not only enhanced the gym experience for children to enjoy every day, but also added an adult learning space, a gathering space for parents, two windowed meeting spaces on the balcony level, an adult bathroom, and enhanced storage. In 2019, we added a traverse climbing wall that helps challenge children’s strength, coordination, problem-solving and concentration skills.

Rooftop play space

Roof

Above the gym, our rooftop play space is outfitted with a variety of play equipment including Snug Play: colorful, durable, open-ended play equipment that children can use to create an endless assortment of configurations for active play and gross motor development.

Infant Toddler & Twos Programs

212 West 95 Street

Driven by our passion for thoughtful early education and care, West Side Montessori School’s new space at 212 West 95th Street has been carefully designed to meet and nurture the needs of WSMS’s youngest community members in our Infant Toddler and Twos programs.

The building spans three floors with seven learning environments, and includes a library/parent lounge and an entire floor for gross motor.
