Mohawk Country Day School is proudly licensed by the New York State Education Department as we promote academic readiness for our students through early exposure to an enriched curriculum. Early childhood school years set the foundation for a lifetime of learning and is an essential time of first experiences, individual development and continuing social, emotional, and academic growth. We believe that children must be motivated and inspired to develop their minds and bodies by building an awareness of the world around them, both in and out of the classroom. Our curriculum focuses on introducing and exposing students to early ideas and basic key skills in areas such as math, literacy, language, science, and social studies, while also incorporating nature, physical education, music, art, STEM and social/emotional opportunities. Mohawk’s philosophy, dedicated staff, amazing facilities and range of programs help every child grow socially and intellectually at a pace that’s right for them while creating the bridge to their future education.

At Mohawk Country Day School, we pride ourselves on our experienced staff of early childhood education professionals. Each class at MCDS has a ratio of 12:2, with a Head Teacher and an Associate Teacher. Our Head Teachers average more than 15 years of tenure at our school, and collaborate closely with their Associate Teachers to offer Mohawk students individualized and personal support that allows them to thrive and grow both academically and socially. Mohawk Country Day School also has dedicated Art, Music, STEM and Physical Education teachers that meet with the classes multiple times a week. In addition to our school staff, Mohawk welcomes community support and instruction from our local fire, police, and EMS departments, as well as our local dentist, librarian, and veterinarians.
