WHO ARE WE - PINARD NURSERY -
Pinard was founded by a mother-daughter team of educators who believe early childhood should never be one size fits all. We built something we couldn’t find anywhere else on the Upper East Side: a warm, intentional space where children explore, create, and grow at their own pace, and families feel supported along the way.

Karen
"Our neighborhood really needs a place like Pinard"
What an incredible place Pinard is and how thankful we are for how well you all have taken care of P for the last 1.5 years! He means the world to us, and as parents, we think the people at Pinard also think the world of him and love him, and there is nothing in the world more valuable than that kind of peace of mind. Anie is a truly special educator and person, and your whole team is excellent.
I grew up just a few blocks from Pinard, and our neighborhood really needed and needs a place like Pinard - it's a great school, a great business, and we are huge supporters of the school. I am hopeful that P's brothers will have the chance to study with you at Pinard, and am so thankful for the experience we have had.

"A place we could trust"
Throughout F's time at Pinard, we've seen so much growth and happiness. We truly appreciate the care and love you've shown her. It's been clear to us how much she loves being there, and having a place we could trust meant the world to us.
Amanda
"Supportive environment"
I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the wonderful care and attention you've provided to A during her time at Pinard Nursery. It's been incredibly heartwarming to witness her growth and development under your guidance. Your dedication to nurturing her has truly made a positive impact on her. We've seen her flourish in so many ways, and we're immensely grateful for the supportive environment you've created.

A NOTE FROM LIZ & ANIE
Everyone tells you it takes a village. Nobody tells you how to find one. That’s where we come in. Pinard was built to be that place — the one your family counts on, where your child walks in and already knows the faces around them, and where you as a parent feel seen and supported too. Consider us the first block for you to build your own village.
