I have fond memories of my own children\u2019s early years in school- the joy they found in daily routines, the bonds they formed with caring adults outside our home, the growth of their social and language skills, and much more. On a personal note, the connections I made with fellow parents grew into friendships, ones that have endured over the years and that I\u2019m certain will continue long after we become empty nesters. In a city filled with so many excellent schools, my hope is that you and your children find your village. It is a privilege to introduce you to ours over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Our vibrant community of teachers and families reflects the rich diversity of New York City. We are multicultural, multiracial, multireligious, and multilingual. We are proud to welcome families with diverse structures and economic backgrounds. Our teachers model being part of a kind and peaceful community. At WSMS, we encourage parents to share their family\u2019s traditions, observances, and interests \u2013 who they are \u2013 with their child\u2019s class. When children feel seen and valued, they develop a strong and positive sense of self that is essential for learning and maturing.<\/p>\n<p>We seek families who are motivated to partner with us in making their child&#8217;s first school experience a joyful and successful one. Thank you for considering WSMS. We look forward to getting to know you during the admissions season. Please read about <a href=\"https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/admissions\/\">the process of applying<\/a> to WSMS and don\u2019t hesitate to reach out with any questions.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nAdis Sylvain<br \/>\nDirector of Admissions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a Page excerpt.
