Les Petits Sourires

Preschools shape the first steps of childhood in ways that last. Les Petits Sourires offers that early space for learning and play on the Upper West Side, just off Broadway at 120 W 97th St. The neighborhood’s mix of families and quiet side streets makes it a natural spot for young children to start exploring routines, friendships, and simple lessons.

Daily schedules often include circle time, outdoor play, and basic language activities, all designed for the three-to-five age range. Parents in the area tend to value programs that balance structure with flexibility, especially in a city where space and time are always at a premium. The school’s location near Riverside Park provides an easy option for fresh air without needing a long trip.
