Our dedicated staff work in close partnership with families to build a strong foundation for acedemic success and social-emotional growth. Through innovative programs like Thinking Maps and Math in the City, we tailor our curriculum to meet the individual needs of every learner-especially our multilingual students-by integrating language and development into both academic and social expereinces. 

🎨 Learning Through Play 

We believe that play is esstential to early childhood development. Our classrooms are filled with hands-on-activites, exploration, and creativity-becasue when children play, they build the skills they need to solve problems, express themselves, and connect with others. 

🥗 Wellness at the Heart of Learning 

TALES is proud to be a national leader in school wellness in 2012, we became the first public school in the country to adopt an all-vegetarian lunch menu, reflecting our deep commitment to student health and sustainability. We continue this work through partnerships with FAN4KIDS and The Coalition for Healthy School Food, bringing nutrition education and physical wellness into every child’s day.
