The International Preschools is an early childhood education and childcare organization based in New York City that operates three schools in Manhattan. Founded in 1963 to serve international families associated with the United Nations, it adopts a Learning Through Play philosophy that emphasizes development through play-based activities supporting problem solving, communication, collaboration, and social-emotional growth. The environment is open and nurturing, inviting children from diverse backgrounds to share their cultures through food, dance, music, and language. The organization aims to integrate children into local Manhattan neighborhoods while exposing them to global cultures, serving families seeking an international educational experience. It maintains affiliations with ISAAGNY and NYSAIS, supports parent involvement and admissions guidance, and was recognized in March 2021 as the best preschool in NYC.
