A private membership for families with children from infancy through the early years. Making life with little ones in NYC feel a little less like a sprint.
A private child development membership for families in Tribeca. Montessori-inspired mornings, experienced guides, and a community that holds both child and parent with care.
For children ages birth through early years. Because a child who is truly known — remembered by name, noticed in their work, met where they are each morning — grows differently than a child who is simply looked after.

Every guide at Casa Primary keeps notes.
Not for reports — for memory. So that when your child arrives, our team already knows what they spent twenty minutes on last week, and has something ready for them.
This is not a typical daycare, but a space for learning and replenishing.
What it means to belong here
Rooted in Montessori principles and guided by educators who have spent years learning how to observe before they intervene, Casa Primary offers children the one thing that is genuinely rare in New York: the experience
of being unhurried. Of being met where they are. Of having someone in the room who sees them, not managing them.
