Alcott is a preschool and special education program in Westchester County New York, founded in 1968 by Arlene Donegan, and has an outstanding history of providing high-quality early educational experiences for all young children in a Montessori environment. Our certified and experienced staff provide a responsive and engaging curriculum to meet each child’s interests and strengths, and to address any areas of weakness, in a nurturing classroom.

We strive to meet the developmental needs of every child and to provide support and education for our families. Our approach is based on the belief that a child learns best in a social environment which supports and respects their unique development. The Alcott School is affiliated with the American Montessori Society and the NY State Office of Children and Family Services.
