This event is for parents only. Due to limited space please rsvp.
Our application process is simple:
Our application for the 2025-26 school year is now available.
Once you’ve submitted an application, we will schedule your family’s visit. During this visit, you will have a private tour of the school with your child during school hours.
We enjoy this informal conversation to discuss not only Chelsea Day School but also what you are looking for in a preschool. This visit gives us an opportunity to learn more about you and your child and for you to learn more about Chelsea Day School.
Children, at this tender age, are not screened for particular abilities or personality traits. We seek and delight in diversity and respect and encourage each individual.
All Family Visits will be completed in order to meet the ISAAGNY (Independent Schools Admission Association of Greater NY) notification date of February 27th, 2025.
We are an inclusive community committed to providing the opportunity for every family to be part of our school. Each year, we offer need-based assistance to eligible families. We utilize the School and Student Services (SSS) for financial aid by NAIS. The amount of aid received by families ranges from partial to almost full tuition assistance. Families from a wide range of income levels have qualified for aid, based on individual family circumstances.
We have provided a check box on our application if you are applying for financial aid. Our $75 application fee will be waived if you are applying for tuition assistance.
We believe in our mission and in providing an exciting and valuable early childhood experience for your children. We thank you for your interest and look forward to meeting you.

We have limited space available in select programs for the 2024-25 school year.
