A mindful membership space that nurtures the well-being of both children and parents.

Welcome home

Primary is your other home in New York

Located in the heart of Tribeca, our multi-floor space allows parents to recharge while their little ones explore a mindful world of wonder.

Child enrichment

Montessori‑certified,
Waldorf and Reggio‑inspired programming, guided by pedagogy‑certified caregivers

Holistic wellness

Mindful activities such as sound meditation, yoga and breathwork for parents and children, taken separately or together

Adult sanctuaries

Dedicated parents‑only spaces for wellness activities, co‑working, socializing and workshops

At Primary, the Montessori philosophy shapes our child community, embedding life skills into all we do.

In our Nido level—Italian for “nest”—we focus on building practical skills, critical thinking, and essential social‑emotional abilities like courtesy and self-regulation. Each day, we invite children to explore their natural curiosity and love of learning.

Through play and discovery, we foster cognitive and social‑emotional growth, with an emphasis on gross and fine motor skills. Our daily activities, from team games to dance and yoga, engage both mind and body, building strength, coordination, and joy.

As certified early‑childhood development guides, we understand each child’s unique journey. We provide individualized feedback and encouragement, ensuring every child feels supported and empowered to grow at their own pace.

“The child gives us a beautiful lesson: that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands.”
